Tuesday, March 19 is the Equinox, a time when the sun is directly above the equator, and the amount of daylight and darkness are roughly equal around the world. The word equinox comes from the Latin words “aequus” (equal) and “nox” (night).

Monday, March 25 is the full moon in March and called the Worm Moon by the Old Farmer’s Almanac. The name comes from the worm trails that appear in the newly thawed ground when the soil begins to warm. The trails may also indicate that birds are coming to the ground to feed, which is generally considered a sign of spring.
