Prepositions of Time

I’ve got a busy day today. I got up at 6:30 and took my dog for a walk. I need to get up early on Monday’s because I have early classes that day. Actually, I have early classes all week this week, except for Friday. That’s because it’s my friend Jack’s birthday. It’s on March 21st, the same day as the first day of spring. Usually in spring, you can see the trees and flowers starting to turn green. We’ve had a cold winter this year so I’m not sure if the green will be starting in March at all.
