Is Spring Almost Here?

Yes! Spring will be here officially later this week. We have the first day of spring on the vernal equinox which will fall on this coming Thursday, March 20. The vernal equinox occurs when the sun is directly located over the Earth's equator... which happens on March 20th or 21st every year. The word equinox is derived from latin words meaning equal and night. This is because on the day of the equinox there is equal amount of time between day and night. There is also an autumnal equinox in the month of September. Happy spring!
