The Autumnal Equinox always falls on the 22nd or 23rd of September in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun is exactly above the Equator… the North Pole tilts slightly and day and night are of equal length… almost. This moment marking the first day of Autumn, starts the pathway to the Winter Solstice on December 21st or 22nd… the longest night of the year.
Let’s enjoy Autumn’s glow that comes thru a filter of changing leaves, with the crispiest air, as we move forward to October's Harvest Moon next week.

CONISTON SUMMER MEMORIES
Hello. I wanted to give you an update on Coniston.
It was May 14th when I announced the cancellation of summer—it’s barely been four months. I remember using the phrase “we prioritized the health of our campers over the health of the organization itself.” But in the end, the community came together & prioritized Camp’s health. The support is remarkable.

Plein air artist, Debbie Campbell is widely known and admired for her landscapes in and around Lake Sunapee. To the delight of visitors attending the annual Columbus Day "Fine Arts & Crafts Exhibit & Sale” (pre-pandemic)… Debbie always set up her easel just inside the big green doors of The Livery in Sunapee Harbor. Here’s hoping all your favorite artisans will be there to welcome you back in 2021! |
