A holiday I like!

Gentle reader, tomorrow, a little before noon EDT, the vernal equinox will occur. This means that the sun will be directly over the Equator. Technically, the equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. Thus, the Sun is vertically above a point on the Equator. Since this blog is about the life and times here in a place just East of the Equator, I felt that it is my civic duty to report such celestial occurrences when able.

Enjoy the sun as we will be seeing a little more of it each day for the next few months!

And oh by the way...

Happy Vernal Equinox! Of course, in Michigan that means one thing: A chance of snow tomorrow. If you want an explanation of the image below call me.


With love from the Enchanted Mitten.
