The March of the Seasons
| By September, Floridians young
and old are clamoring for signs that summer’s heat and humidity are on
the wane. Take heart – since the official first day of summer (Summer
Solstice) on June 21, the hours of daylight have slowly been
decreasing. In the northern hemisphere, the earth’s surface is
beginning to cool. Look at the calendar with your child and draw a
circle around September 22, the first day of fall (Autumnal Equinox).

For a week or so, note the time
of sunset and sunrise listed in the daily newspaper. Day length will
continue to contract until December 21, the first day of winter
(Winter Solstice). |
