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.
