March 1 Spring Arrives!

We always fall into temptation and believe that March signals the start of spring. Bad, bad February is behind us, we're done with snow, and the beach will soon be open. Well, I tend to agree. We had 11 hours and 12 minutes of daylight today, that's how close we've come to Equinox already. The sun's light is of a totally different quality now than it was a month ago. It fills my window in the morning, blinds me at lunch, and lingers well past sunset until 6:15 PM. I know it hasn't been 40 degrees since January 18, but hey this is Wisconsin. March might be mostly cold and snowy, but the today the sun declares victory. New birds will be arriving soon, green things will start popping out of the ground, and water will become a liquid again soon. The big transition to life will start shortly - get out there and see it.
