Emerging from hibernation

Winter has officially passed. Yesterday, at 7:44 AM, our sun crossed earth's equator, the vernal equinox, and so began our passage into more days of sun than darkness. Once the sun has reached its further Northern journey, the Tropic of Cancer, the Druids will dance in Stone Hedge and earth's longest Northern day will have arrived. It won't be until September 22nd that the sun will re-cross the equator, autumnal equinox, on its Southern trip. Pictured here is my Spring flower, Kathy, on her birthday March 20th, in Frankenmooth MI, in a garden, going from small shop to small shop, dabbling in items, purchasing some, as evening approaches.

Rich emerges from his winter slumber, grizzled, but willing to greet friends and be cordial to new acquaintances. Our day trip will be dwarfed by our impending schedule for April, May and June. It is amazing, looking at our calendar, where we are all planning on traveling. But first some Final Four ticket at Ford Field in Detroit, purchased in hopes that our Spartans will be amongst the participants.

Since last I wrote, Michigan State Beat U S C this evening, now they are in the Sweet Sixteen; they will play Kansas on Friday in Indianapolis. MSU must win two games in Indianapolis before traveling to Detroit and the Final Four. It is not so much do "we "believe, rather, do the players "believe." I think they do. Go Spartans.
