Vernal Equinox
It’s that time of year. Spring arrived at 11:30PM CDT last night, so this is the first full day. You can watch it come at Archæoastronomy.
The air is already filled with pollen and the live oaks are dropping last year’s leaves. The azaleas are peaking and the pear trees are snowy with blooms.
I would note that locally we have had 12 hours or more of daylight since St. Patrick’s Day, and usually do.
