Y*u didn't really think winter was over
did yotty' 1 am writing this column in mid
Mardi while enjoying is ,respite from the
hitter cold of February. ,Actually the thaw
began in the last week of February with
spring like temperatures that continued;
into March.
What the weather will he like by the time
you read this is anyone's guess,but 1, won't
be surprised if we're back in: winter's icy
grasp.. Although I'm trying ;to be
optimistic, I just Can't believe winter will
.give up that easily.
The snow is, gradually .disappearing,
motorists ran now see above the 'bagks,
when turning a corner. The ice has left the ,
streets and roads; motorists can apply the
brakes knowing they will stop rather than
guessing whether the ear will slither to the
left or to the right.
In the last two or three weeks drivers;
have been startled by an unusual
phenomena cars start in the morning with a
single turn of the key.
We are now more worried about mud
and floods than we are about ice and snow,
Outside birds chirp- in the Morning, "and'
prows caw from distant • woods; squirrels
scamper from tree to tree,
Two weeks ago someone said they saw a
robin, I would like to. test his or her
sobriety, and if he or she really did; see a
robin, I'd like to test the sobriety of the
bird.
Flowerbeds are reappearing in patches
and are being scanned for traces of crocus, M
hyacinth and other spring bulbs. Sap.
began' running in. some sugar bushes in -
late February.
Inside flies crawl in the windows during
the day and bump, around the lights at
night. if you don't have any flies, yet, 1 will
be glad to give you some. No home should
be without them,

CorrMined with milder temperatures, the
thoughts of new elethea tempt some people
to discard their boats for shoesand their
winter coats for lighter ones. The devilish
wind takes advantage of such' situations to
spread coughs, sniffles, and sneezes. but
some of us prefer to describe the illness;
as spring flu.
Have you noticed changes on, TV.
eSpeeially in the sportscasts? Suddenly we

for the opening of the baseball season in

Florida. -
.Soon we'll exist on a TY diet of baseball
begannntigs and hockey.endings•a sure sign
of spring.
Skiers can't skit snowshoers ant
snowshoe ' and snowmobilers can't
snowmobile. Sottte have already turned to
their bikes, which should be another sign
of spring, but .I'm still not convinced.
I know that our good friend. Mr. Ground
Hog, who happens to be one of the best
weather forecasters in the business,
predicted six more weeks" of winter, and
that was six weeks ago.
In addition, the calenddar says .spring,
has already arrived, and in March, we have
the luck o' the .Irish on our side.
But I keep remembering the :old sayi9g;
"in like a lamb, QUI like a lion." 'March.
came in like a lanib and 1 hope you enjoyed
the thaw while you could, because 1
suspect the lion will roai4 at anytime. if he
hasn't already. • • .

did you? And you haven't forgotten the •

year, have you?
Sorry I mentioned it.
