Saturday, September 23, 2023 Coincides with first day of fall and Autumnal equinox for said year, where colorful splash kindled like tinder. After I riff flecked about thee August Autumn Equinox 2023, this seasonal polymath teached you fall Equinox will be Saturday, September 23, 2023, at 2:50?AM, in Northern Hemisphere Eastern Daylight Time, which spoiler alert thy learned wordsmith (courtesy Google), when (Our Sun) Welles (exemplary Citizen Kane) crosses celestial equator i.e. (imaginary line in sheltering sky wherein pantheon of mankind Bowles above Earth's Equator from north to south), a barley detectable quiet rye hit (cum on feel the noise) moment occurs.

Festive gatherings of apple cider and pumpkin pie, a distinct golden jacketed matted palette well nigh paints arboreal swath, sans quiet riot of brilliant color, that doth belie rampant terrestrial, unreal, and venal degradation aye temporarily turning a (third) blind eye apathetically, blithely, and conveniently shunting aside empyrean découpage citadel betokens (bespeaks) autumnal arrival two oh fifty ante meridian chariot of fire emblazons telltale signature, one humble human doth bid summer and his squandered life adieu courtesy handy dandy blue's clue flora and fauna begin to prepare for hibernation. Onset of harvest time witnesses courtesy sweat of one's brow he/she doth reap (and feeling invigorated) what they did sow. Common type of implements utilized when gathering in of crops include small sickle, big sickle, darat, gandasa and small axe et cetera. The hand sickle is used to harvest crops like wheat, maize, barley, pulses and grass etc. Big sickle (Darat) used to harvest fodder from trees silent whoosh of sickle signals harvest hew and/or raking leaves, which I eschew.
