I notice the NWS said, "There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes." That "nearly" could explain why today's sunrise was 7:09am and sunset 7:17pm, 12 hours and 8 minutes. The sky was hazy and streaky but the creek shone. A male oriole spread orange gorgeousness as he ate suet. A male bluebird flaunted both blue and orange. A brown headed nuthatch took its seed to the roof to hatch. Blue jays found the barkbutter balls. One jay argued with a bigger bird, maybe the osprey?
A heron groomed its feathers on a dock piling. Signs of Spring included dogwood and oak flower buds opening. Even blueberry flower buds got bigger. Daffodils recovered from the storm. The Carolina jessamine smelled lovely to me and the bumblebees.
