Spring is in the Air



It has been a long cold winter. Most people are ready to see an end to these cold and dreary days we have been having here in North Carolina and most of the country. 

"The first day of Spring in 2014 is on March 20 (according to the astronomical definition). It is also called the spring quinox. Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. 

The specific definition of the exact timing of "spring" varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. At the spring equinox or the first day of spring, days are close to 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season progresses."


Well, let's get all of those spring chores out of the way so that we can get on with the fun stuff. The temperature will be rising and the outdoor activities will begin. Golf, boating, fishing, gardening, going to the beach or mountains, cooking on the grill, travel. So many things to do and so little time before winter will be back.
