New Spring New Nephew

At the start of the month I saw some daisies sprouting flowers in the grass verges next to the road. When I see daisies for the first time after winter, I kneel down to look at them closely. They look like boring little white specks at first, but then when you look at them closely they look like a little white paper valley with little golden yellow trees in the middle; a little world on a little flower. There is usually  3 or 4 of them together in the grass . I consider it to be spring when I see daisies flowering for the first time. A week or two later, the dandelions open their flowers. 
Not long after considering it spring, I learned that my nephew Lucas was born, there were some complications but everything was settled the next day during the 1 day spurt of snow we had here in Britain. My nephew Lucas was born at the start of spring but it's not spring in his part of the world. I will remember he was born between what I consider spring and what the government consider spring, a day before the one day spring snow shower of 2023. 

The government consider it to be spring during the equinox on the 20th of March. 
On the 20th of March, the day and night are both equally 12 hours long; they call this the equinox. A week later the day is 15 minutes longer than the night so on the nearest Sunday, they move the clocks forward one hour. I think it will be on the 26th this year. I find it very annoying when they change the time.
