"And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the spirit of love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of it's wintry rest" ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

I have always known the first day of Spring to be the 21st day of March... now it is celebrated the 20th day of March... curious by nature, I googled to see why the change... tradition states it is actually the 21st day of March, but in recent years astronomers and calendar manufacturers state it is the 20th... so... being one to always carry on traditions, I shall continue to call the 21st the First Day of Spring... but welcome it's arrival anytime!... whichever day you choose... Happy Spring to You!... xoxo...

Miss Julie Marie...Happy Spring. I'm so glad it's here. I don't know what's wrong with me but even tho our winter wasn't terrible I hated it. :( I love all God's Seasons but not this year. Maybe all the remodeling is stressing me out. ACK!

Hi Julie Marie,
Happy Spring!! I always thought of the first day of spring as the
21st too. But notice every calendar stating the 20th now. Thank you for the explanation. Just happy to say it is springtime.
Lovely pink tulip.
