| 1452250 | 2018-08-04 10:12:00 | There is lots of thermal lag and lead (hysteresis) as the Earth's surface cools in Winter and warms in Spring so that is why the dates are not symmetrical around the shortest/longest day. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1452251 | 2018-08-04 10:57:00 | Sounds very technical there zqwerty... I like to believe the story that heat expands and cold shrinks. Hence longer days in summer and shorter days in winter. How is that for a theory? Ken :) :) |

| 1452253 | 2018-08-04 22:02:00 | Well officially spring starts in September, . Yes, I am aware of the calendar and official bits. However, what I mean is it is spring, at least in Auckland, because the plants have decided it is. It's been warm. Winter was slow in coming this year, and spring was fast. A very short winter really. 10 degrees this morning early. Despite what the TV weather says, we have had 20 degrees here during the day lately. |

| 1452255 | 2018-08-05 06:46:00 | The spring is sprung, the grass is riz . I wonder where them birdies is . * Ah . . . . here: 8983 I have freesias out in flower and baby strawberries on the pants . Definitely spring . *(No idea who wrote the thing originally, so no link) “Spring is sprung the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is . Some say the bird is on the wing, but that’s absurd, according to the story I heard, the wing is on the bird!” Not sure of the author either, but sounds a bit like it could’ve been Spike Milligan? I also have Freisias through and Irises . Azaleas, and Camellias out and Rhodos budding up nicely . . . . . I like that you have strawberries on the pants, piroska . Lol! LL |
