Thursday......the first day of Spring

TODAY: The March Equinox (spring for us in the Northern Hemisphere)

Equinox, means "Equal Night", this occasion occurs twice a year, March and September. The March Equinox is around March 20th and sometimes 21st. This Equinox is the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the Southern Hemisphere. It is thought of by many to be a time of renew and rebirth.  Many people and religions celebrate holidays at this time, such as Easter and Passover. Hundreds of years ago, people celebrated the Spring Equinox with giving thanks for the restoring of their food supplies. The March equinox is that moment when the sun lines up with the celestial equator, from north to south. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun rises earlier and sets later. Flowers, crops and plants are all in bloom and we get to start basking in the warmer days of spring and look forward to the long nights of summer.

Happy Spring........make it great........
