Times-Advocate, 1982-04-28, Page 8Pogo • Times -Advocate, April 2$, 1992 The season to be confused If Christmas is the season to be jolly, spring must sure- ly be the season to be confus- ed, especially this year. One day we feel warm breezes blowing through our hair and we long to be driving a convertible with the top down. Next day we're shiver- ing in our sweaters and wondering if we put our coats away too soon. The robins came back only to shiver in their feathers and search for shelter. Croci pushed through the ground only to be covered with snow again. I was beginning to feel somehow responsible for the backward spring.

We can watch hockey, a winter sport, on one channel, and we can watch baseball, a summer sport, on Odds in ends By Elaine Townshend scheduled for its spring tune- up looked more like late fall than spring. I drove to the garage amid a white haze. Every time I thought abouthow much my apart- ment windows needed washing, a snow or rain shower pelted them. I've been waiting for a shot of ambition, that I thought would surely accompany spr- ing fever. As yet, it has not materialized. But, at least, my windows are washed and my car . is. tuned up. The robins are back and busily catching worms. The croci are trying again. This past week end actual- ly felt like spring. Although cloud and rain are in the forecast, our thoughts have turned firmly -to spring. another channel. We're caught somewhere in between. Television programs, that used to begin reruns in early summer when no one cared much about tv anyway, have begun already. But, surely, when we kiss April good bye this weekend and welcome the arrival of May, we can also bid farewell to the preplexities of the season. The temperature may even climb above 20 degrees C and stay there. Even the following spring poem won't seem confusing: "Spring has sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the birdies is. The birdy's on the wing, But that's absurd. The wing is on the bird." r -- TO MARRY — Mr. and Mrs. Percy A.

However, it was a taste of spring. Enroute home, all four buses stopped at Carl's Restaurant near Cambridge where reservations had been made for . an excellent smorgasbord meal. The buses were arranged through McNaughton Tours and hostesses were Sharon Craven, Ailsa Craig; Jean Hodgins, Clandeboye; Marg Carmichael, Ilderton and Nettie Hogg, Thorndale.
