Welcome Spring!

The Spring Equinox actually occured yesterday, March 20th, at 11:33 a.m. I think of Spring as arriving on March 21st, but that is not always the case astronomically. So Spring is here! Yay! Today is a worthy first-full-day-of-spring day. Sunny and fairly mild. Of course, we could still get some winter. March is famous for late snow storms in Vermont. I remember one year ages ago we got 4 feet of snow around April 5th. But even then, you know it's going to melt fairly quickly. The sun is getting stronger, no matter what. This will be a fairly full week - we have River Singers Tuesday evening; CTS Zoom session, Contemplative Prayer and our Swarthmore Course (on Franz Kafka) all on Wednesday; Singing at Joy Amidon's funeral on Thursday; UNC/UCLA game Friday at 6:30p.m. It's almost "normal" !! Ellen would rather it be more like it was during the height of the pandemic. She loved those quiet days when everyone was sheltering in place and she could read all day!

I searched my photo archive and thought this one would be perfect to serve as an illustration for spring.
