A sign of Spring!

The vernal equinox is at 6:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, March 20. There are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. March 21 is the first full day of spring.

Spring is a time of new beginnings. Buds come out on trees. Grass and flowers begin to grow. Animals come out of hibernation. Insets hatch. Birds fly north to build their nests. People think about planting gardens. The baseball season begins.

Some people do spring cleaning of their homes. Many schools have a spring break around this time.
