Ode to Spring


I hate the cold weather.

That's why this weekend of pleasant weather was perfect to usher in the Spring season. Especially after a unusually harsh Winter on the East Coast, having Spring Fever feels especially good.

It's easy to see why all cultures throughout history have regarded Spring as a mystical time of rejuvenation & new life.

I've found some links explaining the historic importance of the Vernal Equinox, which marks the beginning of the Spring season:
