Today is the Autumnal, or Fall, Equinox. At approximately 11:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time, then angle of inclination, or tilt, of the earths axis towards the sun will be directly over the equator. From here on, in the northern hemisphere, hours of sun light will rapidly diminish till we hit the winter solstice in December. Of course, for those of us who love to ski, that's a good thing, because it means it's going to get cold outside. And sooner or later, cold outside translates to snow. And snow translates to skiing...

Colors around town are becoming more pronounced daily. Today's picture was actually taken late last week when I had a chance to take a helicopter ride between the Green Mountain National Golf Course and the Killington Resort Golf Course as part of the Sante Fe Restaurants Golf Tournament. Tree tops were starting to display color. Since that time, color has come down into the body of many of the trees. It is going to be a pretty colorful couple of weeks here at Killington as fall progresses.

Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway and don't forget the sunscreen(and maybe a pair of hot hands to ward of the fall chill).
