Spring equinox 2021

 - Happy Vernal Equinox -
beginning of spring in Earth's northern hemisphere
beginning of autumn in Earth's southern hemisphere




Along with dawn, dusk, and phases of the moon, Vernal Equinox (beginning of spring) and the Autumnal Equinox (beginning of autumn) are among the few truly universal events observed and celebrated on this planet, and not just by humans. After all, who hasn't felt like howling at the moon now and then or, sometimes, wake to see early rays of morning light? So today is the Vernal Equinox. For the one moment sunlight crosses the celestial equator moving from south to north, day and night are of equal duration the world over.  Have a lovely day, better yet, have an ordinary day. I don't know about you but these strange days I find myself longing for nothing more than an ordinary day.

To ordinary days!
(until, of course, it gets too boring.)
As always: wheee! roundy round we go. Why not.
