~R U ready?~

the vernal equinox is coming....
next thursday, the 20th to be exact...
in a nutshell...
this event marks the first day of the spring season...
the latin word equinox means "equal night"...
the latic word vernare, to bloom, is also reflected in spring flowers, such as the Lathyrus vernus, the sweet pea.
the day & the night at the vernal equinox are of equal length all over the planet...
after the Spring Equinox, the period of daylight increases, gradually becoming longer in relation to the hours of night until a grand climax is reached at the Summer Solstice, the longest day.
