Virtual “Woods Walk” Series
Challenge 2: Celebrate the spring equinox! Try the old tradition of balancing an egg on its head, sing “Happy Birthday” to spring, or thank all the signs of spring you see on your walk today.
The 2020 vernal equinox- the moment when the Earth axis isn’t tilted toward or away from the sun- occurs at exactly 11:49 p.m. tonight. This is the earliest start to spring in 124 years! Our days are growing longer and warmer as the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the sun.
Make a list of all the things you observe that show spring is here! This list can include
• Tree and flower buds blooming
• Birds chirping
• Woodpeckers drumming
• Frogs Peeping
• Bees and Butterflies
• Scents of spring returning
