Spring will spring forth at 7:21 p.m. EST March 20, 2011.
The equinox marks the balancing point of the sun on the Equator. For one day the earth is in balance. Most all the earth will experience twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness.
For a gardener it is a time to wake the garden and dress her in her spring frock.
Plants that have found a new home in this garden spring forth and share with pride their growth from last season.
Snowdrops open and show-off the ruffled cuff of their inner cup.
Crocus and heather welcome insects awakening from their winter sleep.
Contorted Filbert flowers sway in a the spring breeze.
The air is filled with the scent of the Sweet Violet. who is neither shrinking nor shy. 
We do not know what tomorrow will bring but today the earth will sing!
The Iris and the Lily 
And now the snow…what the heck!
