Spring Equinox occurred tonight at 7:21 PM Sunday.
May the days ahead be full of birds,song and migration magic...Oh by the way, they predicted some snowflakes possibly with rain today ( esp in west NJ) and Wednesday.....yes spring off to a good start.
I hope you like the new colors that signify the colors of blooming spring.....(new leaves, lilacs, dogwoods, cherry blossoms and so on)
