a delightful change

Today is the vernal equinox, when night and day are roughly the same length all over the globe. I greet this information with joy.

Days grow longer and nights become shorter in the Northern Hemisphere as we approach the summer solstice, which falls on June 20th this year. This transition marks a period of increasing daylight, here (Finland) the daylight hours are expected to extend by approximately 5 to 10 minutes each day until the end of June. This gradual shift brings about a delightful change, the extended sunlight and the promise of warmer days brightens my mood as days grow longer and warmer.

      1. I bet you are! Our recent rain storms have taught me that I need sunshine. We are getting another few days of rain starting tomorrow and then, I hope, sunshine will settle in until the Fall.
