Spring!!



Happy Vernal Equinox everyone. Feel free to celebrate in your own way. Naked around a fire, burning a poor schmuck in a grass hut, lots of beer, or simply reflecting in quiet solitude.

equinox |ˈekwəˌnäks; ˈēkwə-| noun the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length (about September 22 and March 20). • another term for equinoctial point . ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French equinoxe or Latin aequinoctium, from aequi- ‘equal’ + nox, noct- ‘night.’

I celebrated the Equinox this year like I do every year, by celebrating my Grandmothers Birthday! Today she is 97.
