Happy First Day of Spring! Early this morning we welcomed the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring. The sun is positioned directly over the earth's equator, and our day and night are equal in duration. Hopefully that means that very soon I get to stop scraping frost off my truck windows in the morning!
Because of the earth's poise and balance at this time, it is said that today is the best day to try and get an egg to stand on end. I spent about 2 1/2 minutes this morning trying to prove that theory, and I have come to the conclusion that folklore is generally not true - who knew...
I was watching the news last night (after watching Obama on Leno - fabulous interview!), and there was a story about how the price of fresh vegetables has escalated. This plays right into a course that I firmed up yesterday. On the evening of April 30th, Kath Smyth will speak at the store about seeding vegetables into containers. We are going to see a big shift in the amount of people growing their own food. There is huge buzz on the internet about it, and now that people see they can build raised vegetable garden boxes and they can plant seeds right into containers, you will be seeing more people trying it for the first time this year. So, in the next few days, I will be finalizing all of our spring classes and you can sign up for them at Spruce!
Have a fabulous FDOS!
P.S. try shaking the egg really, really hard before you try the trick...
