Hail the Equinox!

The weather here has been quite interesting (?), to say the least.  Last night's equinox was heralded with wild winds, torrential rains, and then this, when I opened the door, as it finally became quiet.

Autumn arrives with hail.

This little metal table sits right outside, where I can put things down so it's easier to unlock the doors to get in the house.

I was so fearful that the power might go out, as it did a few rains ago, for awhile.  So I made sure I had my battery operated camping light handy.

How did you welcome autumn?
