Autumnascure

Autumnascure was this week. Monday, we think.

Autumnascure is a word that Christopher and I made up. It's that first day in the fall when you wake up at your usual time and have to turn on the light. It's different for every person every year -- depending on when you wake up and which way your windows face.

The opposite is the wonderful day of Vernalux, when the morning sun is is up before you for the first time in the spring.

Yes, we are strange people, but we rather like it that way.
