Fun Facts About Spring!

We at the King's Port Inn would like to wish everybody a happy spring! We hope everybody had a wonderful winter season and is ready to embrace the warmer months and summer! In celebration of Spring, the King's Port Inn would like to share some interesting facts about this time of year. So, we present to you 7 fun facts about Spring:
1. Baby birds learn to sing during the spring. Although they were born with the ability to sing, they learn the songs in the spring.
2. If you stand at the equator on the first day of spring, you will see the sun pass directly over head. This only happens twice a year(the other being autumn).
3. Arizona and Hawaii do not follow daylight savings time. They already have enough sunlight and hot weather so the states don't confuse the sleeping cycle of their residents.
4. Daylight Savings Time saves approximately 1% of electricity a day.
5. Daylight Savings Time starts and ends at different times around the world.
6. Spring fevor is a real syndrome. When the temperature rises during the warm spell after a long winter, there is a dilation of the blood vessel so blood can be carried to the body surface where heat can be lost quickly. People experience an energetic feeling when this happens.
7. And finally, Benjamin Franklin(of course!), was the first to propose daylight savings time in 1784. It wasn't fully implemented until the end of the Second World War.
