Bring out the jackets and rakes and get ready to go apple picking. Enjoy watching the trees as the leaves start to change their color from green to yellow. Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2010 is the Autumnal Equinox, which marks the first official day of fall.

Today at 11:09 ET, the First Day of fall will start as the sun will be directly on the Equator of the Earth and the hours of day and night will be equal.

The first day of fall marks the start of shorter days and longer nights as well.

So, where ever you are and from whatever country you belong to, if and only if you are in the Northern Hemisphere countries, a very happy first day of fall to you.

I have no idea where Clay Aiken is today, but it has been reported that he has been in New York.  If he is there, I doubt he will realize it is the beginning of fall.  The weatherman predicts that it will be 85 degrees in Manhattan today.  If Clay is home in Raleigh, he will probably think it is still summer as it is supposed to be in the nineties.

It’s a stretch, I know…….but I still hope you will enjoy the following video of “Falling.”
