The daffodils were blooming, and the tulips were growing. Blossoms festooned the fruit trees, and the buds were opening on the other trees. Robins and red-winged blackbirds were building their nests. Spring fever had seized most humans, too. Farmers, in clouds of dust, were cultivating their fields; gardeners were planting their vegetables; campers were -hauling their trailers out of their garages, and beach lovers were flocking to the beach, like kids just let out of school. As for me, I hunted out my one and only set of decent summer clothes, and thinking one pair of shorts wouldn't be adequate for the hot days ahead, I rushed to a store to buy more. What happened? The April showers, that were supposed to bring the May flowers, turned into snow showers. Most blooms •daring to poke their heads above the ground were nipped with frost. The hlossomsdisappeared amid the snowflakes, and the birds huddled among the naked branches. The rivalry between many neighbourhood gardeners was lost because of rotten corn. The farmers replaced their tractors in the sheds wondering whether their grain would grow or freeze. The campeTs shoved their trailers hack into their garages, and even the hardiest beach lovers forsook the sand. Mean- while my new summer clothes went from a shopping bag to a drawer_ I've heard of short seasons but this is ridiculous! It's strange to see lilacs blooming with only sparse leaves on the bushes. For the past month, the buds on the trees have been at a standstill. If the leaves don't open more, we'll certainly miss those shady branches, although we haven't yet felt the need for protection from the sun. Another odd sight is to pass three grain fields with one sprouting a few inches above the ground, the next growing in patches and the third showing no signs of growth at all. One question puzzles me: If the grain won't grow in the fields, why does the grass grow so fast in our lawns? It seems odd to bundle up in coats, scarves and gloves to mow the lawn. We look as though we should be shovelling snow instead. No matter how backward the spring season may be, we can always depend on one thing — dandelions. By the way, anyone desiring experience in the removal of dandelions is welcome to practice on my lawn. A million of the pretty little things should give any greenhorn plenty of experience. Perhaps I shouldn't be such a pessimist regarding the weather. Those warm days in April spoiled me, but I should have known they were too good to last. Summer will come sooner or later. By the time this column hits the press, we'll probably be basking in sunshine. In fact, this morning the weatherman's forecast for tomorrow was _"warm and sunny." Funny . . that's the same thing he predicted for today. It's now four pm, and I haven't seen the sun yet. But there I go being a pessimist again. The Goderich Township Women's Institute volunteers were at the Home on Monday to assist with the afternoon's ac- tivities.
