Today marks the first day of Spring - or Spring Equinox. If you have ever heard anyone say “vernal equinox,” it means the same thing. The term equinox comes from the Latin word “equinoxium,” meaning “equality between day and night.” And vernal also comes from Latin and means “spring.” Folks in the Northern Hemisphere are looking forward to longer days, perfumy flowers and a burst of greenery. Happy Spring!
