What with bdrels on the trees and dandelions blooming le _the rock garden just north of the bridge, we can almost believe the weather prophets who predict an open winter with little snow. We don't know if we would exactly appreciate such a winter o root, it Wright of course mean less coal shovelling, certainly less snow shovelling but there is something infinitely beauti- ful about the mantle of white mother nature wraps about her sleeping ohildren of the winter. We like to think of them warm and secure, snugly tucked in beneath their blankets of white. I'm sure we would miss the snow more than we may realize if we had to look all winter long at the brown frozen ground and stark nakedness of the bare limbs of trees. St John's Guild and W. A.
