There are only two days each year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting an almost equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as the equinoxes. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are now approaching the spring equinox. That means we are right in the midst of that glorious process in which the sun shines longer each day, casting more and more light and warmth onto our world and nurturing the new life that is sprouting, blooming, and blossoming all around us. May you enjoy every sun-kissed moment.

Happy Spring Equinox everyone!

The Sun

by John Drinkwater (1882-1937)

I told the Sun that I was glad,

I'm sure I don't know why;

Somehow the pleasant way he had

Of shining in the sky,

Just put a notion in my head

That wouldn't it be fun

If, walking on the hill, I said

"I'm happy" to the Sun.
