SPRING ARRIVES TODAY
at 9:15 AM PDT

On the vernal equinox, all over the world, day and night are balanced — twelve hours of light, twelve hours of darkness. And all over the world, the sun rises due east and sets due west.  I took advantage of our afternoon sunshine on Monday, and walked around our yard to capture some signs of spring to pair with A.A. Milne’s “Daffodowndilly.”

Daffodowndilly

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor;
“Winter i
s dead.”

This is what clean-up will look like in a couple weeks (not today).

 

Can you see the bee in the center of the photo?
