Spring Arrives

At COTTonLINE we try to note the seasonal milestones - the equinoxes and solstices. Today is one of the former, in this case the Vernal or Spring Equinox. It's the day the hours of daylight and darkness each equal 12.

From here until June 21 we will have longer and longer days and shorter and shorter nights. This is, of course, the continuation of a process that began on December 21 of last year.

We call this quarter of the year "Spring." Many experience it very positively, I hope you share that seasonal optimism.

The news reports the northeast is still experiencing winter conditions, blizzards and such. CA is experiencing rain; if the weather guessers are to be believed, several more days of it. Rain is CA's version of "winter" so unseasonal weather all around.

Hang in there, gentle readers, nicer weather is on its way. As always, exactly when is a good question.
