Spring pairs by month, a spring break edition for trip planning, and a round for adults.

## Quick facts

- In the Northern Hemisphere, spring starts at the March equinox, around March 20, and ends at the June solstice, around June 21.
- In the United States, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday of March, which gives an extra hour of evening light.
- Pi Day falls on March 14 (3/14) and April Fools' Day on April 1, so March and April each have a built-in theme day for this or that pairs.
- Most schools in the United States take spring break for one week in March or April, so spring break pairs fit the week before.
- One pair a day from March through May covers about 60 school days, with a few weeks off for break.
