We discussed
and defined winter/Spring. Then we listed signs of Winter and Spring
and decided which signs were present the most during the six weeks since
Groundhog Day.
Winter is from December 21
until March 20. It is when the sun is the farthest from us. Spring
is from March 20 until June 21. The sun is getting closer to us.
