It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
~Charles Dickens










Evening of the Vernal Equinox The 2009 Vernal Equinox on March 20th, when day and night are equal as the sun crosses the equator, is a balance of light and dark.

As the sun sets, and celebration of spring begins, sail through the March 2009 night sky .

Visit March constellations, Gemini and Cancer; deep space stars, the Bee Hive Cluster; and hear about the Vernal Equinox, or beginning of Spring, when the sun starts to rise higher in the sky.

By the way, 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy; your backyard is where it will be happening.

Ahhh, Spring....finally. Winter has seemed long and the thought of warm sunshine and gentle winds is welcoming.

Winter tries to hang on with wet, anemic snow flakes and blustery winds, but deep in our gut we know that spring is gaining momentum.

As Charles Dickens noted, March is a balance between spring and winter, hot and cold, light and darkness, so there will still be chill and shadow.

Therefore, March 1st will be a great night to stay in, pop some corn, and watch the Jesse Stone debut of "Thin Ice". I know I'll be there.

And I might just think of some way to sweetly celebrate the Vernal Equinox on March 20th.

Formal celebration and ritual is important. It helps us internalize the meaing of life events, and in this case, be nurtured by the manna of spring.

Of course, the snow and rains still come, even as spring approaches, or perhaps because she approaches. Water in all its forms brings growth: spring moisture brings flowers, tears bring understanding.

In Rainy, Soulful Days there is growth.

And, of course, check out Knit Fairie's Stash.
Happy Spring !!

Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone

This series, based on author Robert B. Parker's novels is filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia which is Paradise, Mass. in the movie.

Cinematographer, Rene Ohashi won a Canadian Society of Cinematographers' award for his 16 mm and HD work with the Jesse Stone series.

Don't miss it; Selleck's performance is first rate, filming unique, and the writing crisp, yet soulful. A truly popcorn worthy movie.
