Vernal equinox

Supposedly it arrives around noon for our time zone, but the sunrise & set times are not equal - there's ten extra minutes of day already.  Humpf.  Anyway, the sun is shining, though the sky is white.  Sparrows (and I did see a song sparrow among them) and titmice came for breakfast while the male cardinals pursued their standoff.

The sky cleared as the morning progressed. But I was away the rest of the day.
