Today's welcome factoid is that there were twelve hours and eight minutes of daylight. Here in Virginia the crocus, daffodils and forsythia are cooperating with the idea of spring.
Now that the days are longer I don't find myself walking after sunset quite as often and the night sky inhabits my imagination with a different cast.
This plate, from a recent gas firing, was inspired by night snow. For those of us weary of winter the vernal equinox marks a shift in balance and new beginnings both in the garden and in general outlook. If only nature would cooperate.

Nice work, Catherine.
