Fiḍal (Grace), 9 ‘Alá (Loftiness), 171 BE - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 about 11:06 am Pacific Daylight Time
On Friday, March 20, 2015, at 3:45 pm Pacific Daylight Time the sun
crosses the celestial equator and spring begins in the Northern
Hemisphere. The birds are already celebrating the new season by building
nests, singing, and starting families. The oak tree in the courtyard of
my apartment complex is celebrating the season as well. It is leafing
out and its limbs are turning green with the new leafage.
I am looking forward to spring. I can but away my heavy winter sweaters
and sweatshirts. I can begin making iced tea and iced coffee. I can have
my door open for part of the day. I know eventually it will get too
warm for me to have the door open all day, but I can open the door in
the early morning and late evening. I love spring because it brings
pleasant memories from my childhood. I can stop making soup or I can eat
the soup cold because it is getting too warm for hot soup.
There are only two problems with hotter weather. First, the power bill
will increase because I have to use the air conditioner to cool my
apartment. Second, my car does not have a working air condition so I
have to drive with the windows down to keep cool. I am sure other
things will come up during the late spring and summer, but I will handle
them as they come along. Right now I am looking forward to the arrival
of spring.
