What I love most about March is that it means SPRING IS COMING! Don\u2019t get me wrong, winter holidays are great and all but I cannot wait for warm weather again! Plus the official flower for March is the Daffodil and who doesn\u2019t love Daffodil\u2019s? Did I mention how excited I am for Spring??<\/p>\n
Spring isn\u2019t the only exciting thing coming this month \u2013 there are several other exciting things to celebrate this month, such as these holidays:<\/p>\n
March 2nd<\/sup> \u2013 Read Across America Day \u2013 go get a good mystery\/romance novel and curl up with it and read!<\/p>\n March 3rd<\/sup> \u2013 I Want You To Be Happy Day. It\u2019s a day to celebrate being unselfish and to do something to make someone else happy!<\/p>\n March 6th<\/sup> \u2013 National Frozen Foods Day. I can\u2019t wait to eat a frozen Totino\u2019s Pizza on this day.<\/p>\n March 10th<\/sup> \u2013 International Day of Awesomeness!!\u00a0 A day to perform and celebrate feats of awesomeness! Oh, and it is also Popcorn Lover\u2019s Day, a day to eat popcorn and share it with others. This day really is AWESOME!<\/p>\n March 13th<\/sup> \u2013 Daylight Savings Begins! (Yay! It stays lighter longer \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 ).<\/p>\n March 17th<\/sup> \u2013 St. Patrick\u2019s Day! Don\u2019t forget to wear green.<\/p>\n March 19th<\/sup> \u2013 Corn Dog Day. Go eat a corn dog!<\/p>\n March 20th<\/sup> \u00a0– March Equinox and the first day of spring. YAY FOR SPRING!\u00a0And guess what, it is one of only two days a year you can do this experiment that I am going to tell you about. March 20th<\/sup> is one of those two days. Here is the experiment you can try:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need a straight stick or a long wooden ruler, a protractor and a compass.<\/p>\n Find an empty space like a park or a parking lot where there are some tall buildings or trees to obstruct the Sun. Find your location\u2019s latitude. Then subtract this number from 90. This will be the angle you will affix the stick to the ground.<\/p>\n If you are living in the Northern Hemisphere \u2013 use your compass to find the south and point the stick in that direction. If you are living in the Southern Hemisphere \u2013 point the stick or the ruler to the north.<\/p>\n Using the protractor, fix the stick in the ground at the angle you just calculated \u2013 remember to point it in the direction opposite to the hemisphere you are on. Wait til Noon and see the shadow of the stick disappear. At Noon, the stick will have no shadow at all!!<\/p>\n March 27th<\/sup> \u2013 Easter<\/p>\n I would say this month is going to have plenty of fun and exciting things to celebrate! YAY! I love having things to look forward to! Happy start to a new month everyone! It\u2019s going to be AWESOME!<\/p>\n ~Amy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What I love most about March is that it means SPRING IS COMING!
