First Day of Spring

Spring typically starts between the 19th thru 23rd of March, and tends to change on a yearly basis. The first official day of Spring is known as the Spring Equinox, or the Vernal Equinox. This is when the sun is directly above the equator, and this explains why it falls differently each year. Since the sun rises from the East and sets to the West, it fails to do this consistently, especially when leap year gets involved. My calendar says today is the Vernal Equinox, so spring starts today! I don't see it, but it's here!!

Here's my tomato plants, they're almost ready to transplant!


Mom and Carleen are off on an adventure today. Carleen is picking up her new little Ani Jo Hani and Mom is going to be flying to North Carolina to visit a friend. Hope she has smooth flying weather!
