One Hundred Days Until 2010 is Gone


With only 100 days until 2010 expires, enjoy it while you can. Take a hike, bike, walk or run. Look for the first signs of leaves changing or watch for the bird migrations south.

Today, September 23, 2010, is the first official day of autumn. The full Harvest Moon accompanied by a very bright star looking Jupiter matched the fall equinox by rising at yesterdays sunset and setting as the rising sun shone on the tops of our Oquirrh Mountains this morning about 7:20 a.m. I had to check both planet and moon out several times during the night to see if they were still together. The two coincide (full moon and fall equinox) on the same date every twenty years or so.
Take a look this week to see the pair keeping company.

What a blessing it is to be alive at this time. Although the world's people are experiencing many joys and tragedys, we can do our best to help make it a better place by giving generously and serving others.
