Orin, where i am, i can't tell where sunset or sunrise is, most of the time. It's been toooo cloudy/rainy, and sometimes foggy. But i do believe that I'm happier on the 'other' equinox. That's the one that brings warmer weather. :D :D

I'll go along with the spring equinox! :) We have been having clear days; but its been getting down in the 40's overnight and has become jacket weather lately. I hope we get an Indian summer at least 'til Thanksgiving! :wink:

I prefer the cooler weather better myself. You can always put on something more and go outside but, while it is warm outside, you can only take so much off and still go outside.

I used to feel that way; but now I'm older and more fragile! I find that on really hot days in summer I stay inside a lot and go outside as little as possible. :mrgreen: In winter when it gets really cold I stay inside a lot also. :wink:
