The First Day of Spring

The first day of spring, and change is in the air. Following Russia's bullshit referendum imposed upon a country not its own comes the equally imposed resignation (no doubt a collaborative effort by all three levels of government) of the co-founders, managers and board of downtown eastside social developers The Portland Hotel Society, not to mention Alberta Premier Alison Redford's pollster imposed resignation for a 45k trip to South Africa so that she could party at the graveside of Nelson Mandela.

What's next? Hyacinth?

World's Smallest Pumpkin

Tomorrow at 1:44PM (PDT) the sun will pass the celestial equator, just as it does at the spring equinox.

This year I will do something to commemorate the sun's passing. Not sure what that will be yet, but in considering it, I will include the potential for doing it again next year.
