First day of spring

I learned on the news yesterday that tomorrow, the first of September, is the first day of spring.

I didn't know they could just declare spring like that. I thought everyone had to wait for the equinox to change the season. And the equinox isn't for another three weeks.

But I guess the world is kind of springy here. Fruit trees are budding and flowering. The wattle trees are in bloom. So nature believes it is spring, even in advance of the equinox.

So in any case, happy spring, world!

For a day.
