You know what I mean, Vern(al)?

 

If you said, "The catch phrase of Ernest P. Worrell, a character played by Jim Varney," you get 15 bonus points.  But, what's the "(al)" at the end of that?

Thanks for asking.  Of course, I am referring to the Vernal Equinox (nothing to do with a Chevy crossover SUV).  This is the day we "officially" welcome spring - when the Earth is not tilted away or towards the sun.  And, depending where you are in latitude, when some will see 12 hours each of daylight and darkness for the day.  And, from now to the Summer Solstice, the hours/minutes of daylight will be more than the dark.
