Autumn Adventures

 

Though the summer heat is lingering, the calendar says that it is time for
the autumnal equinox. Some SASSy scientists and others know that will mean
an equal amount of light and dark in one day. Then there shall be more
darkness each day and birds and Birdbrains know that they need to get going
to survive winter. There is still plenty of time and opportunity to enjoy a
glorious Michigan fall. Following are two upcoming events of interest to
blind and visually impaired people along with their families and friends.
