Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Vernal Equinox
The creek glittered in the early light. A white throated sparrow prospected for breakfast. The azaleas were gorgeous. K reminded me that the extra day in this leap year made the equinox come a day early by the calendar. But when I checked sunrise and sunset, equal day and night actually happened on Saturday, March 16th when the sun rose at 7:14am and set at 7:14pm. That was also the first quarter moon. When I returned from the library, there was a sapsucker in the pecan tree. However, I had to get to an online meeting and when that was over, I forgot to look for the bird.
