Happy Vernal Equinox
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a fruitful and prosperous New Year.

Not really the equinox until approximately 18.20 UT but I'll be busy later today.

4. My Surname Means "Born At The Vernal Equinox"
And apparently, the term 'pace egg' is still used in the UK. It's our actual family name, not an affectation.

10. Happy Vernal Equinox!
:) It is a beautiful, if not somewhat cool, (almost) spring day here in Georgia. Rain is in the forecast for today and sunny days are predicted for later in the week. Many trees, shrubs and perennials are blooming and budding out! I am so happy that Spring has almost arrived! :)

I like autumn more, but I'm often ready for spring when it comes.
