We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

All things being equal ...

Today is the Autumn equinox when the day and night are nearly equal in length, apparently there is about a 10 minute difference in the UK. The days on which the length of day and night are exactly equal is called the equilux, and occurs a few days after the autumn equinox. This date will vary depending on where on Earth you are, and indeed equiluxes do not occur at all close to the equator. Mr Google can give more info!

So, I've nearly run out of time on this month's Craft Barn challenge. The next couplet is -

Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

There is an abundance of blackberries around at the moment - blackberry and apple crumble - yum - proper comfort food!

Anyway, I have done a quick watercolour of some blackberries.



Happy equinox - and if you are reading this on Monday/Tuesday - Happy equilux!

    This artwork deserves to be in a gallery, not on a postcard. It is fabulous. I bet no one else came up with anything this fabulous. Happy autumnal equinox to you, too, dear Kay.
