In yesterday’s post, I made reference to balancing eggs on end during the equinox. It’s something I remember doing as a kid, thinking it was the coolest. So last night, I decided to give it a whirl.

According to Google, there is no real science to support the equinox-specificity of balancing eggs, and some results labelled it merely an urban legend. Urban legend, old wives’ tale, folklore, what-have-you … we only ever attempted this on vernal and autumnal equinoxes growing up. I even tried to stand the eggs on end earlier in the evening, and they would not balance. However, when I tried again, closer to the official point of equinox, they both balanced.

Having officially welcomed the changing of the seasons, today is hovering in the 58-60* range and it’s breezy and wet. Total hibernation weather, the perfect start to Fall!
