Happy Autumn Equinox!

This balance between day and night occurs as the Earth’s tilt aligns so that the sun is directly over the equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the beginning of fall, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it signifies the start of spring​​.

Here are 10 fun facts about Labor Day:

1-Labor Day is ALWAYS the first Monday of September even though the first official Labor Day was actually celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York

2-President Grover Cleveland signed it into law in 1894.

3-Labor Day came about more than two decades BEFORE the US Department of Labor Existed.

4-Speaking of labor, thousands of expectant moms will go into labor on Labor Day - typically resulting in more than 10,000 babies being born

5-Labor Day is considered the end of hot dog season. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs. That’s 818 hot dogs consumed every second during that time.

6-Labor Day also is considered by many to be the end of Summer - but that's not actually true. The First Day of Autumn is Thursday, September 22, 2022

7-The average work day in the 19th century was 12 hours long, 7 days a week, and sometimes children as young as 5 were working in factories!

8-Labor has an official "mascot" or icon: Rosie the Riveter. But do you know why? Rosie the Riveter was used as a symbol of feminism and a morale booster for women working in factories during World War II. Artist J. Howard Miller designed the infamous Rosie the Riveter poster. She has stood the test of time as inspiration.

9-Labor Day weekend is considered one of the busiest weekends to travel. Last year, over 35.5 million people hit the road, 85.8 % by car.
10-As recently as 10 years ago it was considered taboo to wear white after Labor Day (see point 6 above!) because it was *unofficially* the end of summer; however recent fashion trends show white pants and shoes all year long as being a la mode.

So, the real question for you: how are you spending your Labor Day? Please post your pics in the comments below! And have a happy Labor Day weekend!
