Consequently, we have pretty close to equal amounts of day and night — 12 hours each. In the northern hemisphere, this marks the astronomical beginning of fall. Happy fall everyone!

Bug bane is an intoxicatingly fragrant flower that blooms this time of year in our ornamental garden. I’m not sure why it’s a “bane” to bugs, as it attracts all kinds of pollinators.
