That wonderful season was ushered in Sunday, March 20, kt 4:49. The days since have been balmy days with even a bit of heat. You might even call them book, blanket, and brook, days because they make you wish you had a blanket to lie on by a brook. Maybe you’d take a book (a school book) and open it to the assignment. Then you would feel drowsy and finally doze off. That is my idea of a perfect way to study nature. Spring brings other things to mind. As a current poster seen about school says “in the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts the gal has been thinking about all winter.” What could be more romantic than a full moon a summer night, and a lake breeze? Others that are gardening friends enjoy digging holes and plopping a seed or two into them. The flowers are pretty; but wedd ing is tough—take it from* me!
