1st of March? Equinox? That’s all nonsense.
When you leave your house in the morning, and feel the warm sun on your cheeks, and squint trying to look at that hot yellow ball, and take out your whistle and play some cheerful tune, and some girl asks you smth like “oh, how nice! what is that instrument?”, and you (who said “ask her phone number”? leave the room now!) take your old sweetone from your bag, and say “that’s yours”, and write an address of a local whistle community website on some sheet of paper, and then leave for your business, but knowing you’ve just made the world a bit better…
That is the first day of spring!
I’ve just had mine 
Awesome!!! I live in the middle of practically no where, so no one can hear me play my whistle (this might be a good thing, actually). Although, once, my neighbor across the street asked me who was playing that flute sounding thing the night before. He was on his front porch and I had been on my back one playing some tunes because it was such a nice evening. Apparently the notes reached his ears, and he commented on how nice it sounded. I tend to think the distance between my whistle and his ears made it sound better to his ears
