Spring is here! It happened at 1:48 a.m at the moment at which the sun passed directly over the Equator Eastern time aka the vernal equinox. It’s also the end of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the end of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
So what does this mean for us. Well for starters anyone suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (which I assume is most of us) you can now open up those curtains and enjoy some much-deprived sunlight. And while you may still be bundled up in winter gear, don’t fret, you’ll be sporting sandals and shorts in no time. Toss in long walks through the park, eating at an outdoor cafe and flowers in bloom. Spring is superb!
Check out NY Post for an interesting piece on how other cultures ring in spring.
Looking for your own way to celebrate the vernal equinox? Why not plant a tree? It doesn’t get more spring-y than that.
