How are you planning to celebrate springtime this year? Here are some tips!
Take a Spring Equinox Walk Equinox: When the sun crosses directly over Earth's equator and day and night are equal length. You probably learned in elementary school that the tilt of the earth, combined with the rotation of the earth around the sun, causes the changing of the seasons. Certainly, you've noticed that the length of shadows change as the sun seems to ride higher in the sky during the spring and summer months. The day when the sun crosses directly over the equator is the day of the equinox. This happens twice of the year, the first day of Spring (the vernal equinox) and the first day of fall (the autumnal equinox).
Start Your Spring Cleaning - Hey, it has to be done, so you'd as well make it a springtime celebration! I know housework and fun don't seem to go together, but spring cleaning doesn't have to be all work.
Plan a primavera picnic dinner - If you can't take a blanket outside just yet, set it up on the family room floor.
