The calendar suggests that winter is for retro’s and spring is for futurists. On March 20th at 5:45 PM CDT the Vernal Equinox has ushered in a new season. This day is one of two that occur within each calendar year; it is a period when the hours of daylight equal the hours of darkness at night. While the pre-glow of dawn and after-glow of dusk fudge the truth behind the definition, the equinox always is a harbinger for change. So while today continues to feel a bit like winter with the weather terrorists threatening a 6 inch snow, the promise of the Gregorian calendar gives me hope for longer days, warmer weather and a busy spring migration.
