Springs like heaven a future reward In minds eject the poet the painter Spring is hot stuff It Is Oh to be in now that April there Browning It is a bunch of gals in long nighties scattering petals as they dance in the gladsome glade i It is lambs gambolling to the notes of the shepherds pipes Beethoven Now that be all true in Europe where those birds operated and where Spring is indeed a bewitching seductress that makes the senses red But I am not to m regret a poet the only painting to which I can point with pride is my storm windows I can make a tune discernible on the kazoo and most important of all I am a Canadian So I afraid I II have to go along with Samuel Butler who had a more prosaic view of Spring Of Sam though he was an Englishman had as witness those Immortal lines Oh God Oh Montreal He stated flatly thai Spring Is an overpraised season marc remark able as a general rule for biting east winds than genial breezes Spring for the overage resident of Ontario is like heaven something to be looked forward to with a certain hearty optimum mingled with a slight doubt about its eventual appearance Only about once in ten years does Spring materialize in this country Then the natives go completely haywire Forget ting Ihe other nine cold dreary springs they whip oFf heir long underwear go for long walks in the woods and fall deeply In love though not necessarily in that order Of course they catch severe get blisters and lost and marry people they normally wouldn be seen dead in a ditch with It also a tin if promise Every Spring I promise self I II put in a garden this year and a few weeks later promise myself again 1 get at the garden right after opening day of the trout season and later still that I II get the sereins on This goes on right through until fall and even then I promising get storm windows on My mother told me I was a promising boy one time and it went to my head I ve been promising since There s no denying though that spring is a time of resurgence of life Theres nothing so heartwarming as the sight of the annual spring crop of babies out on display in the prom parade on the first sunny day Their who were girls Just last Tall have a new beauty and dignity as they sail along three abreast pushing honest tax payers into gutter spring Is the most wonderful gift of all They have been dicing with death all winter and as the sun warms their old bones they know they have won another toss and a welcome respite before they have to pick up said bones and shake rattle and roll them again For the kids there are drains to make Boats to float puddles to wade through and lovely mud that squishes underfoot Threats from their harassed mothers trying to cope with the annual flood of muddy footprints and wet no more effect than rain on a duck For the farmer spring means another nine months of breaking his back for pea nuts Far Ihe sailor it means leaving the wild scramble of family life for the com paratlvc calm of life on the deep For the housewife it is i time to attack ihe house like the Assyrian coming down on the fold For young lovers it is a time to act even sil her than usual Whatever it means to us and even it it arrive until the of June lo be immediately transplanted by a hot summer it only thing that makes it worth while to battle our way through the winter The year spring fails to arrive at all 1 want somebody to
