Spring Has Sprung!!


March 20th is the vernal equinox, the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It also marks the end of "the winter that wasn't," as the past several months in North America have been dubbed. It was the fourth-warmest winter in the United States since record-keeping began 117 years ago. In accord with the unusual weather, this turn of the season brings us snow in Arizona and Saudi Arabia, while conditions remain sunny and warm in America's Northeast and Western Europe. Collected here are scenes from around the world as a strange winter gives way to spring.


This year Easter falls on Sunday, March 31st. Whether you are still searching for your Easter basket, or spending the day with family and friends, here are some great ideas for some crafts! Please visit the following websites to enjoy some Easter fun!
