Show UsV STUFF Stop the presses! Hold the maiH Alert the media! Although this might be a controversial statement and It is, unfortunately, greatly subject to change, I have come to the conclusion that Spring Is here. Despite the fact that it was according to traditional calenders, expected to arrive In the middle of March, it flnally'came creeping in the midst of last week: which was the midst of the month of April. The unpredictability of the weather can really throw you off. Last month when we had that brief snap of warm weather which teased us with the thoughts of Spring, I picked up all my winter woolies and sent them south to mom. Then the weather took a turn for the worse. Winter was upon us once again, with my turtienecks and sweaters packed away with the moth balls. Finally, only a month late, the snow has finally melted, the sun is beginning to grace us with its presence, and the days are getting that hint of Spring in them. Pale bodies bask in next to nothing trying to absorb the sun's rays, once again frisbees, hackysacs and footballs replace snowballs, skis and skates. The cheerful call of mother robin replaces the peaceful silence' of the fallingjsnow. The screams and yells pX little children take the place of the howling winds and biting cold. Cheeks flame red, but not from the cold, merely kissed-by the long lost sun. Please note, however, the weather we are currently having is subject to change, drastically, without any warning whatsoever! ! Tomorrpw,U. could be winter! |
