ON MY SOAPBOX…Time moves on
Today is the first day of my favorite season.
SPRING is here!
I am patiently waiting for my Hummingbirds to come back for their annual vacation. Spring is the season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings. It’s a time when the world awakens from its winter sleep, and nature comes alive with color, sound, and energy. From the first bloom of a flower to the return of migratory birds, spring is a season of beauty and wonder.
Take the time to enjoy Spring.
Summer is always “nipping at its heels.” Summer will MELT its way in on June 20.
Although the young people of today will not believe this, air conditioning was not always an option. Most of the places I worked DID NOT have air conditioning. There was a lady at one of my jobs who would say with a smile, “Just think about snow and you will feel cooler.” Smiles are free and they are appreciated. Sadly, Smiles are less abundant nowadays.
HAPPY SPRING AND BIG SMILES TO ALL!
It is no secret that I like MEMES. Each Winter, a reader of Tolley’s Topics sends me MEMES of cleverly constructed snowmen with this note: SNOWMEN FALL FROM THE SKY UNASSEMBLED.
YOU CAN SMILE ABOUT THESE THIS WINTER!

Astronomy Picture of the Day
Spring Equinox at Teide Observatory
Image Credit & Copyright: Juan Carlos Casado (Starry Earth, TWAN)
Explanation: The defining astronomical moment of the equinox today is at 14:46 UTC (March 20). That’s when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving north in its yearly journey through planet Earth’s sky, marking the beginning of spring for our fair planet in the northern hemisphere and fall in the southern hemisphere. Then, day and night are nearly equal around the globe. In fact, both day and nighttime exposures from a spring equinox at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, are used in this composited skyscape. Over 1,000 images were taken with a fisheye lens and merged in the ambitious equinox project. The apparent motion of the Sun setting along the celestial equator on the equinox date follows the bright linear, diagonal track from the sequence of daytime exposures taken over 6 hours. After sunset, nighttime exposures recorded startrails, with the celestial equator as a linear track and concentric arcs circling the north celestial pole near Polaris at upper right and the south celestial pole beyond the lower left edge (and below the Teide horizon). The foreground includes the distant Teide volcano peak and the observatory’s pyramid-shaped solar laboratory building.
