        Au contraire, nature is quite ignorant of the astronomical equinox.

        For nature, things like the Cherry blossoms, the blooming of the magnolia tree and the awakening of the Bumble bee are the ways nature indicates when Spring has started.

        Harvest season and autumn are more typically defined by brown leaves, ripe pumpkins and ripe cider apples.
