First Day of Spring

All about First Day of Spring 🌸

The first day of spring is the March equinox, usually March 19 or 20, when day and night are almost exactly the same length. After that, daylight keeps winning until June.

It is not a day off, but it is a real milestone: the end of winter and the start of green grass, flowers, and being outside again without a coat.
