Jane's Pocket Change: The Importance of Spring
There are reasons why we Northern Hemisphere inhabitants look forward to spring: sunnier days, easy outdoor activity, the colors of flowers, green grass, more variety in our local vegetables.
It is a time that feels lighter, more colorful and somehow things seem more possible.
As CSW students and teachers enjoy two weeks of break, here are four tongue-in-cheek quotations to remind us that there are always better times to come.
"And the spring comes slowly up this way."
-- Robert Burns
“One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.”
-- Aristotle
“Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.”
-- Doug Larson
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”
-- Hal Borland
Spring begins officially on Thursday, March 20. I hope everyone gets a respite from winter’s cold and enjoys all that spring has to offer.
