Day 80

Vernal Equinox; the time at which the sun crosses the plane of the equator towards the relevant hemisphere, making day and night of equal length.

Yay...Spring has sprung! I'm not sure where all the sunshine has gone or and why the wind is blowing yet again, but I'm ignoring it all because today is the first day of Spring! And as the definition states, that means the day and night are equal...and the days, they just keep getting longer!

I love this tree at my office, especially this time of year. I started watching it last week and saw that little pink buds were starting to emerge. Then yesterday, more and more buds became flowers as the day went along. Today it is nearly in full bloom, I think to celebrate Spring along with us. It's hard to believe that almost exactly two months ago, this little guy was buried in snow (see Day 18).

I'm glad I got a few photos...because these pretty pink flowers will be gone before we know it, making room for the leaves of summer.
