Happy Spring Equinox - are we New Englanders happy for this day or what!    Spring officially began today Monday, March 20th at 6:29 am EDT, still had to warm up my car since it was only around 22 this morning at 7:15 am in the sun in the car, however, for a great many of us, we are still looking at the remains of the snow fall from Tuesday, March 14th.  We definitely are hopeful that "March has come in like a lion and will leave like a lamb"!  Well we can always be optimistic, opening day at Fenway is April 3rd, now you know which metropolitan city gets my loyalty!  To learn more about the Spring Equinox,  check out the links below:

Okay, Spring 12:57 pm on Thursday ---- Did someone remind Mother Nature?  I know that Spring arrives tomorrow, however, did you look at the long range forecast?  Heck, did you have to warm up your car this morning!!!!!  Just what about the piles of snow still gracing the ends of the driveway????  I know March's full moon is called the Worm Moon --- I don't think worms can get through the frozen soil!!!!!
