Spring has sprung!

... the grass is riz... I wonder where the birdies is.

Today is the Vernal Equinox, Vernal meaning Spring, and Equinox meaning "equal night". Basically this means that today the sunny hours equal the non-sunny ones. It also means today marks the first day of spring. I for one am quite pleased that the evil forces of winter are finally subsiding into a muddy green springtime landscape.

Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of Spring
The Winter garment of repentance fling
The bird of Time has but a little way to fly, and lo -
The bird is on the wing!
- Omar Khayyam

Enjoy the nice weather everyone!
