We’re almost halfway through March, so I thought it would be fun to find out of March facts are as interesting as February Facts were. 

Turns out, March has some interesting creds.

Did you know…

The “Ides of March” is tomorrow (the 15^th). It’s not just the day Julius Caesar was murdered, but a day for settling debts. (There was a time when bills were settling on either the first or the fifteenth, instead of all over the place.)

March has two birthstones (aquamarine and bloodstone) and two birth signs: Pisces and Aries.

Though we can’t always tell here in Wyoming, the first month of spring starts around the 19^th-21^st of March. The 21^st is also the Vernal Equinox.

March is like September in the Southern Hemisphere. 

March and June always end on the same day.
