Well we’ve made it through another Winter, and for some of us it’s been particularly trying one. But today, finally, and despite the temperature, Spring is definitely in the air. At 5:24 PM this afternoon the Sun, in it’s apparent path around the Earth, will cross the Earth’s equator on it’s way North. It’s the Vernal Equinox, the day when the Sun rises directly Due East and sets directly Due West and the length of the day and night is equal. From now until the Summer Solstice in June, the days will be getting longer and the nights shorter. Summer is on the way 🙂
