Spring blows in

is the phrase that guides optimism or despair depending on the wild weather whims of March.
The first day of Spring arrived one day early this year on the 20th of March. The vernal equinox passed at 07:44, demonstrating that day and night are nearly perfectly balanced on the equator. Northern hemisphere people who are emerging after the cold Winter into the warm Spring appreciate the promises of future pleasant days.
The soil is drying, there are mechanical upgrades, animals are awakening in the warm weather, last year's hay is coming off the fields and is going to feed them. Nearby the rapids are running in the Bonnechere River and in the Ottawa River. Historically, lumber is moving to the mills. and maple syrup is dripping into pails from the thawing tapped maples.
