Spring has arrived!

March 20 is the first day of spring this year.  The first day of spring is also known as the vernal equinox.  On the first day of spring, the sun's light is directly over the equator.  There are an equal number of hours of daylight and darkness.  The number of hours of daylight will increase every day until the first day of summer which will be June 21 this year.  The first day of summer is the longest day of the year.  As summer progresses to fall, the days become shorter as the sun moves farther away from the equator.

We are happy about the new season and hope yours is filled with all kinds of good things.  We'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you to be healthy and safe: wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water and be sure to take the time to stop and smell the flowers.

Happy first day of spring!
