Spring has arrived!!

 

 

According to ancient tradition, today, Feb. 1st, is the first day of spring. The equinox is considered to be Mid-Spring, the heart of spring, and the end of April brings us the end of spring.

So, let's celebrate the coming of spring and and the coming of offspring in wild animals, plants, and fungi! Happy Spring, everyone! Find some way to celebrate this time of the year.
