Happy High Spring!
The vernal equinox is upon us, as of 2:58 pm PDT today! The days will be longer than the nights, and we will steadily grow in daytime through to the summer solstice on June 20.
Unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere, of course, in which case, happy Autumn!
A joyous holiday to all of you! For tips on how to celebrate, visit this post from last year. May your celebration of Spring be happy, silly, and childlike!
Shown: Ukrainian pysanky eggs, a tradition for spring going back thousands of years.

In my state next spring may be high, but legislators haven’t passed any laws to that effect yet. Maybe high summer.
