Happy First Day of Spring!

Share your spring photos on Barrow Patch.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, spring begins with the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere at 7:02 a.m. today, Wednesday, March 20.

Spring is a time, the Old Farmer's Almanac says, when worms begin to emerge from the ground, ladybugs land on screen doors and flowers begin to bloom. The vernal, or spring, equinox signals the beginning of nature’s renewal in the northern hemisphere. The season will last three months until June 21, when summer starts.

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
