Spring?


What happened to spring? Mother Nature certainly has a bad sense of humor these days. It has been unseasonably, and unreasonably, cold here in the Midwest. No snow in my area, but lots of wind and bitter temps. We had a warm spell for about 4 days a few weeks ago that made my classroom (and students) unbearable. Now that it is spring break time, the temps have dipped below freezing. I hope that the plants peeking out will be hardy enough this year to withstand the cold snap. We could all use splashes of color and happiness in our yards rather than piles of dead leaves, salt deposits, and garbage that the squirrels stole away throughout the winter. On a brighter note, the cardinals are back in strong song.
