Spring is Here

Now that we have passed the Vernal Equinox we can officially say that Spring is here. It can be felt all around us: in the air, in our hearts, and, for some, in our sinuses. Spring is the
time of year when life sprouts up all around us and love is literally in bloom. Spring holds a special place in the hearts of many and has for hundreds of years. But where did the name "Spring" come from? Before Spring was called Spring it was called "Lent." Then, in the 14th century, it became known as "Springing Time." This was in reference to the plants "springing" up. It was then shortened to "Spring Time" in the 15th century, before finally coming to the modern term "Spring." Now we must simply try not to succumb to spring fever. Have a lovely Spring everyone!!
