Letters to the Editor: The spring equinox restores our energy

Spring equinox marks a time of rebirth in the Northern Hemisphere, with the sun moving north across the equator and daylight and darkness almost equal at 12 hours each. I hope that the spring equinox, which occurs this week, will be a watershed, marking the beginning of the end of the mentally exhausting coronavirus.

The arrival of spring has certainly put a spring in our steps and joy in our hearts. Summer time begins next Sunday, March 28, so the days will be noticeably longer. The trees are sweetly blooming while warmth, growth and greenery are returning. Birds are singing and building nests, bees are buzzing, while animals are mating and producing offspring.
