@buttheadface932 I am determined to celebrate how I believe and feel though the town I live in might want to stone me for it.

@EugenesDDen Not to worry - someone else mentioned it and I looked it up.

Yes all us gardeners love spring. I see the hyacinths beginning to poke their heads above ground and snowdrops in bloom because of the mild weather here.

I always forget when the equinox and solstices and are. .do they occur on the same day every year?

I think they vary somewhat and the day of the Winter Solstice varies between the 21st and 22nd of December. There are probably online calculators which allow you to determine the exact day for the next 1000 years, however an accuracy of 1 day is good enough for me!

@EugenesDDen Oh thanks Eugene, yes that jogs my memory! I know that the pagans in Europe used to conduct rituals on these days holding them sacred. I wonder if anyone still notices when they come by- besides *you* of course?!!
