TREE PLANTING - Despite Saturday's chilling weather, Grand Bend cubs and scouts went out tree planting. Jake Morrice gets a helping hand from his dad, Brian.Staff photo Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON Last January i would have gladly packed up all my worldly possessions and moved to a warmer climate. i have no love for winter and the cold and snow. Oh, sure, i pretend that i enjoy cross country skiing and all that, but really it's more like endure. i just figure that we have to put up with winter. because it comes in between our summers. But at this time of year. I wouldn't trade climates with anyone. flow boring it must he to live where the seasons don't change. 1 love summer, but even tnore, 1 love seeing it come. • The first excitement was seeing the ice leave the Ausable River cut. After that, we went through a few signs of spring, and . now we're into the signs of summer. in the past few days, you could practically see the grass get greener. And longer. We knew summer is almost here, when we woke up to the sounds of lawn- mowers roaring on Sunday morning. it sounded so good we didn't even mind. And the smell of the fresh cut grass was fantastic. This time of year, you can see the buds leafing out on the trees, too. One day there's only hare limbs on the tree. The next day you see a glint of green as a few buds pop out. The day after that, there are little tiny bright green leaves. i like watching the leaves come out in the various wood lots I see on my drive bet- ween Grand Bend and Exeter. i've found that you can see the tiny leaves much better if you're wearing sun glasses, too. And isn't daylight saving time great Sure, it makes it a little tougher to get out of bed on those first few mornings after the switch, but it gives you so much extra time in the evenings -- to do things like prune all those bushes that have been growing like crazy. Oh, there's many more signs that summer's coming which are so nice to see. Everyday, you see another storekeeper in Grand Bend doing his spring housecleaning and getting ready for the summer rush. The number of renovations, additions and changes along Grand Bend's Main Street are amazing. Places that have been closed and boarded up are coming alive. For example, the Fun House at the Amusement Park, quite literally, had a face life recently. Remember when you had to walk through a clown's mouth, under his watchful eyes to get into the Fun House Well, the old clown's face has been lifted, -- in fact it's gone. Another good indicag�ii'on that summer's just arou?td the corner is the re -opening of all our favourite eating places. Now you can get good hot dogs, great fish and chips, and the best ice cream -- the stuff we've been waiting for all winter. paper owels HOIME SYYEETHOME'.
