Spring Time

The increase of the temperature and light on the northern hemisphere causes the new plant growth to "spring forth", giving the season its name.

The first day of spring this year (2008) is March 20 - more precisely at 5:48 GMT. Most flowering plants bloom this time of year, in a long succession and continuing into early summer.

In general, the four seasons correspond to the relative position of the Sun to the earth. The determination of the Spring season is calculated when the Sun passes through the equatorial plane.

When going from Winter to Spring, the Sun is moving North, and as soon as the Sun crosses the equator, we call it Spring.

Be good and be healthy.

Here comes the Sun

Winter is almost over and the flowers and warm breeze of the Spring time are just around the corner - on and off.

With so much cold/warm transition, the body may feel a little more - keep the vitamins intake and wear layers - be prepared for ocasional change in the temperature.

Be good and be healthy.
