The Snowdrops are in bloom, and some of them are really earning their names.

Small white flowers drooping from green stalks grow low to the ground. These ones are surrounded by an icy mound of snow.

Two inch long purplish green leaves with saw teeth edges and pointy tips shoot out around a developing green bumpy flower bud that resembles Broccoli. They extend from a grey and green branch.

A mixed group of grackles and male red-winged blackbirds (I saw no females) arrived in our yard about two weeks ago. They spent several days emptying our suet and sunflower feeders before moving on. I think this unlucky fellow ran up against a local raptor. #Spring #Death #Bird

A long black bird bill, partially open, with black feathers attached lies on weathered grey-brown wood chips. The rest of the skull and bird are missing.

Today felt as though the contest between winter and spring is still undecided. Spring is pushing hard, but winter isn't going down without a fight. #Winter #Spring

A small clump of green leaves, possibly grape hyacinth, pushes up between dry brown leaves: oak, maple, buckthorn. The tips of the green leaves are lightly frostbitten. The bottom of a pine stump is in the background, and some dry grass is to the right.

Today is the first day of #spring, and it happens that the weather is right to do our first direct sowing in our brand new kitchen #garden. Peas today, radishes and carrots and some others later in the week. Plus, starts indoors for #summer crops. It has begun, and I'm so very happy to be #gardening again.

Noam writes

A short #Spring #Equinox #story I wrote a few years ago.

“Spring is like walking up a big hill,” Jill said, leaping effortlessly up the rocky slope as I scrambled behind breathlessly.

“How is it like…?” I panted.

“You can’t just flow from winter to spring, darkness to light, with no effort,” she explained.

“The dark isn’t threatening if you can simply step out of it,” Jack added.

“But spring comes along without us doing anything,” I countered. I stopped at a steep break in the path in front of me, looking for a foothold. They each reached down and offered me a hand. I took both and they pulled me up.

“Not doing anything?” She asked. “What about winter colds, post-Christmas blues, spring cleaning…”

“Getting out and about, getting fit again, waking from hibernation,” He continued.

“But it would still turn to spring if we didn’t do any of that,” I said, a bit bewildered. “As the days grow longer, daffodils would bloom, frogspawn would fill the ponds, hawthorn leaves, the sap rising…”

“Yes, spring would still come, but you would be stuck in winter,” Jack said.

“Not everyone makes it,” Jill nodded in agreement.

I shuddered as I finally understood. If you didn’t work to wake yourself up at the end of winter, you’d sleep. Forever. Not the light-hearted chat I was expecting after they’d suggested an equinox outing.

I resigned myself to soldiering on to the top of the hill, seeking spring and light. A chill wind carried a wispy cloud towards us. As I stepped through the mist, I spotted Jack ahead of me to the left, just in time to see him turn into a large brown hare and bound off ahead.

“Did you see—” I said to Jill, but she had already turned into a stream, somehow climbing the hill despite flowing down it.

“I guess I’ll turn into a leaf and float to the top!” I declared. I waited a few seconds in anticipation. Sadly, it didn’t happen, and I trudged on up the path.

The last stretch was steep and slippery in the thickening mist. Darkest before the dawn, I said to myself, trying to focus on the days to come, on light and warmth. Suddenly I emerged at the peak into gentle sunlight, a warm breeze blowing. They were sitting nearby on the moist grass, taking in the view, looking human again.

“It’s all about the balance,” Jill was saying, as I collapsed to the ground between them.

I regained my breath, and gazed at the surrounding sunny hills and fields coming into spring. I smiled.

“Well done,” Jack said. “You survived another winter.”

Happy March Equinox!

Today is the first day of autumn🍂 in Chile, & the first day of spring🌸 for the northern hemisphere.

Astronomically, the Earth's axial tilt is exactly perpendicular to the sun's light. That means day & night both last about 12 hours everywhere on the globe!

A white observatory building with silver dome sits atop a rocky mountain site under sunset skies. A second small dome sits on a nearby hill. The moon shines brightly in the upper left. Stars sprinkle the clear sky, which fades from deep blue in the upper right, to pink, to orange in the lower left. The rocky landscape dominates the bottom half of the image, and some shipping containers are visible to the right.

Happy equinox to all—and to those of us in the north, happy first day of spring!

Here's a poem to celebrate, thanks to the Poetry Today newsletter of Maya C. Popa. You can find more from Maya here: https://mayacpopa.substack.com/

At the Spring Dawn, by Angelina Weld Grimké - 1880-1958
I watched the dawn come, Watched the spring dawn come. And the red sun shouldered his way up
Through the grey, through the blue,
Through the lilac mists.
The quiet of it! The goodness of it!
And one bird awoke, sang, whirred
A blur of moving black against the sun,
Sang again—afar off.
And I stretched my arms to the redness of the sun,
Stretched to my finger tips,
And I laughed.
Ah! It is good to be alive, good to love,
At the dawn,
At the spring dawn.

A strip of green to brighten up this soggy Monday for #Mosstodon in the #YorkshireDales. Despite the sodden hills and rain-stained walls, there are buds on the trees, a promise of blossom.

Happy Spring Equinox vibes to everyone in the Northern Hemisphere, plus a New Moon tomorrow to really emphasise the cosmic shift.

In honor of the Equinox today, I set out to look for signs of spring besides my crocuses. I found a lone Periwinkle (Vinca), the Rhubarb making a tentative start and the Raspberries waking up.

Closeup of a blue Periwinkle (Vinca) flower in brown leaf litter a few dark green leaves show off to each side. Bright sunshine in center, deep shade off to sides.

Very small, tightly curled rhubarb leaves emerging about an inch out of brown soil. Bright sunshine. Leaves are green with slight shading of pink on edges.

Very tiny raspberry shoots emerging from brown soil and mulch. Leaves are tightly bunched, colored mostly red with a hint of green. Bright sunshine.

The season officially changes in a few hours – be sure to turn your Seasonally quilt, to the right! 🥰👏❤️

Today, 20 March 2023, Is the last day of winter for the Northern Hemisphere. Spring starts ~6 hours from now at 21:23, 20 Mar 2023 UTC, or 5:23 pm EDT on the U.S. East Coast. Some trees are already blooming here.

I recently heard of a concept called "meteorological spring." It aligns seasons with the month/year boundaries of the calendar. If you prefer using that, then spring will start April Fools Day. :)
