So here we are on the supposed first day of spring. It's a little more complicated. March 17 gave us very close the equal day and night.
So I'll give you the sunrise and sunset for today. The sun rose at 7:35 am and sets at 7:50 PM . The day length is 12 hours, 15 minutes and 38 seconds. The actual spring is when the sun crosses to the north side of the equator.
However ,I'll take the first day of spring as I'm hoping for warmer weather.
We still have lots of snow and all lakes are frozen as well as most rivers. However , at this time of year things start melting very rapidly.
Birds are coming back. A few crows have been here for about two weeks. We do have some crows that over winter here but I didn't see any this winter. Geese have arrived. I haven't been out where I would see more birds.
So I'm looking forward to better days.
Some how or other my camera didn't seem to work or was it the photographer as I didn't get any photos.
Red,
ReplyDeleteThe sun tips north with quiet grace,
While winter lingers in its place.
The geese return, the crows take wing,
Soft whispers now foretell of spring.
And though your lens stayed fast asleep,
The season’s shift is yours to keep.
John 😊

DeleteWe woke up to a mixture of snow and freezing rain this morning. Winter is not letting go easily.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many critters out and about. Just not spring weather!
ReplyDeleteI have a small clump of daffodils blooming which is so fabulous to see. I've seem some great flocks of cranes returning from wherever they have been. The weather has been up and down but it's getting there.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteSpring is slowly around here, we can still have late frost and some snow too. The temperatures go up and down like a yo-yo. Take care, Happy Sunday! Have a wonderful week.
According to my information, Spring began here on the morning of Friday, March 20th, but that was a cold, wet day. Saturday March 21st gradually became sunny and almost warm. We spent it touring a garden in the morning and working in our garden in the afternoon. Flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Soring!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
ReplyDeleteMay
We saw four Canada Geese yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to learn that crows mostly don't overwinter there. It made me wonder if we have some who go elsewhere as well. There are still crows here, but maybe not as many as we have when the milder weather comes. Something for me to look into!
ReplyDeleteI think the first day of spring should come with some sunshine and warm weather!
ReplyDeleteHappy spring to you Red! I haven't noticed any birds here yet other than the crows even though the weather has warmed up and we're now getting some nice rain free days. I haven't been out though as I'm not well. I hope to enjoy the outdoors soon.
ReplyDeleteJust the thought of it being the first day of spring is uplifting I find, no matter what the weather. I like not having to close by blinds right after dinner.
ReplyDeleteWhat precision, Red !
ReplyDeleteYour day lasted 12 hours, 15 minutes & 38 seconds.
I never counted a day like that before. Perhaps I should.
Seize the day. Time lost or frittered away is time lost forever.
Blame the camera:)
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing Canada geese and lots of mallards.
Happy spring time - I'm sure it's very much welcomed after your cold winter climate.
ReplyDeleteThe first day of spring, we got some rain, hail and wind.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your springtime. Here autumn (fall) is slowly approaching, the days are quietly getting shorter. This is my favourite time of year.
ReplyDeleteWe're seeing sunshine here in Hawaii now, thank goodness. I'm hoping for a peaceful spring for you with calm weather.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the very same thing where I live in Georgia because the Apple phone’s weather app shows sunrise and sunset times every day and on March 16 and 17 the times were exactly 12 hours apart. So why is the equinox date fixed? Shouldn’t the date float around and be accurate? I’m highly disillusioned with the astronomical powers that be.
ReplyDeleteIt is Spring date-wise, but here in Montreal, Canada we have been getting snow ❄️ and freezing rain. Honestly, I don't mind the snow. The freezing rain makes roads and sidewalks slippery not to mention the ice can knock out the power, break tree branches and even knock down entire trees.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Red! I am enjoying signs of it here.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring to you dear Red ,as you said season get warm rapidly and greenery is about to grow soon hopefully
ReplyDeleteYour details of sunrise will sunset timings are very impressive 👍
I hope you will be sharing lush surroundings soon with us 🤗
