Yesterday we were treated with the spring equinox, when the sun’s warmth and light fall unequally on the northern and southern halves of the planet. During the equinox, the Earth’s axis and its orbit line up so that both hemispheres get an equal amount of sunlight – translation … IT’S SPRINGTIME!! In 2025, the spring equinox occurs on March 20 at 5:01 a.m. UTC (the exact moment varies each year depending on Earth’s orbit). Now, I know you are already feeling a bit better – gradually sliding out of winter, and anxious for the sights and smell of new flowers. Like any change of season (for those of us who enjoy all four seasons), it’s truly a time of renewal (and a chance to put away the heavy sweaters and bulky blankets) and look forward to new brighter days. To inspire you, here’s a whole bunch of ideas to kick off Spring. For Jackie and me, it’s a chance to get out again to our local parks and enjoy walking again (without heavy coats). She finds peace in digging a bit in the gardens and planting some new flowers. (I just like digging holes!) And yes, like you, I try to clean up the winter mess in the garage and get the kayak’s cleaned and ready. If you have a favorite “spring” activity, please share skowalski@khtheat.com Enjoy!
