Spring! Perhaps this Beautiful Free Spring Flowers Coloring Page can bring spring to us more quickly!
As I am writing there are blizzard conditions in the western part of our state. In March. Crazy!
Spring is Coming...Really!
Well no matter what the weather is doing, the spring equinox is March 20th for those of us in the northern hemisphere. And the first day of spring comes regardless of the weather outside.

Spring Equinox
Perhaps it would be fun to learn about the spring equinox together. Of course a quick search online will bring a plethora of info, but here are a few tidbits.
The spring equinox is when the sun will pass directly overhead the equator on its rotation. That means that the the sun's light is almost equal to both hemispheres and the night and the day are almost equal in length . After this date the sun will bring longer and warmer days to the northern hemisphere. I love the longer days of summer.
Full Worm Moon, Super Moon!
This year the full moon for the month of March falls on the 20th. That gives it a special name…the Full Worm Moon! That’s a strange name! This hasn’t happened since 1981.
The full moon is also closer to the earth in its orbit. Some call this a Super Moon and it is slightly larger and brighter than normal, although I read that it isn’t really possible to tell.
Watch the Moon Rise...It's Spring!
So if you want to see a beautiful full worm super moon with the grands, do so just as it is rising. Then it looks larger because it is close to the horizon.
My father (the grand’s grandpa-great) always watched the moon and loved to note how it “ebbed” and “flowed” (got smaller or larger each night). That is a wonderful thing to be remembered for I think.
Remember Me, Nana Loves You...
I want us to be remembered for bringing creativity into the lives of our grands, for spending time with them.
Create memories and enjoy the Beautiful Free Spring Flowers Coloring Page found here.
Thinking of You
By the way, I sent copies of the Spring Coloring Page to my grands that are experiencing the blizzard today. I hope that coloring beautiful spring flowers lets them know I am thinking of them and that spring is around the corner…even if there is snow blowing outside!!!
Perhaps you would like to send copies to your grands! I think they would enjoy getting mail from you!!
