it was march 31- the dawn was just- breaking whan i jumped out of my bed and fan to the window jet titer said now whats the matrj its a robin se an the poplar treea big fat cock robin looking in at our window- huh partner scoffed prob ably a starling it isnt a stalling ics a robin come and bee for yourself so partner came to the window and waa finally convinced the robin meanwhile perched motionless on the tree surveying tliu world for signs of spring evidently he was not too impressed as not a sound canie from him not even a mating call the robin was a wise- bird for since that morning we have had bitter cold winds and umiie snow not at all the kind of weather for courting at least not in the bird world fur the human species any time is courting time heeuuse we have the protection of warm homes theatres donee halls automobiles indoor skating rinks and many other comfortable opportunities for companionship the nation that in the spring a young mans fancy is outmoded it is nptn season all the year round for ihouu whose in clinations lightly turn to thoughts of hive but the rnhin sticks to the lawn of nature and you cant fool the robin spring is spring and springtime is mating time no self- respecting robin would go calling on his ladyfriend until winter had hud lj final fling i remember part of a poem from childhood days which begun i when north winds llow then we sliull huve snow and what will the robins do then poor things i forget the rest hut i am sure thut what the robins were likely to do didnt include courting but it wont he long my friends spring will soon be here the robins know or they wouldnt be around at all so maybe we hud hotter hurry up thut housecleaning hemeinbei lust summer the heat and hum idity lets enjoy the cwjllsh wea ther while we can in the meuntlnie i tiave u con fession to muke und i feel like a triutnr in so doing a month ago we traded in our nice little knglish cur on u luler model canadian muku in doing so i yielded to molly pressure and economic nec essity i liked my little cor it did all 1 wanted it to do as i am not- a city driver but it wiu subject to all hinds of derisive remurks from other members of the family iiiritllinip h young folk culled it well why did i trude it in if i liked it since i wus trie one who was driving it for the simple rea son that we live in a district where there isnt mi agent for knglmfi curs which makes it dif fiiijll to get purls or ijct a repair job done the one muji who was willing to service my car sold his karagp so thut left me iiut on a htnhr i v zsi if we hud u m- iiiiiiii at home thut would be ii different mutter mill iorunr doesnt even drive u cur let ulorif repur it lie csn handle the traitor hut because of arthritis in his hands arid feet and in the interests of uifety he has ilyvhys thought it better to leave the cur alone except that he is u most proficient sidescat driv er the tar we have now is s semi- ubnirtie tunsiiusaimi and tt tra- vels the rood with the greftsv of ease it also bus a tirkr on the windshield which indicates it has passed its road test wriicti rneanr thut i went ufter the jxilice offic er he didnt rorrie after me i wisnt ut all anxious to rr pulled ip on the highway and suhjected to an unxjtd road xenx so i i gut ahiud of the game and got my i car checked riglit outside the local polif headiuarters aftr all it j there is anything wrong with tb car one is driving it is txttcr to kpow it i fel much happier now with thut sticker on the wind shield- now if only wmt kind tit sticker could be attached to driv ers what a help it would b to the travelling public well from the lrok of thu house i had better start on a clearing up job i notice there u a forgotten tractor colored blocks in itil of uw way corners a little cap in mr living room and various other signs that indicate our grandson was around here yesterday i dont know how other folk manage ao well hut monday is waiver wash day around here it is a day of re covery and for getting tl column done we love to have visitor family or otherwise but afar the pleas ure is past we find s littlt rest and relaxation very- welcome after ao there 1 no law that decreet that monday shall be waahdsy ao when the usual work done i make the rounds with the watering can the geraniums are growing fait now and need more water and my cactus that was in fun besom last christmas will be blooming again for easter took like any thing can happen around here and often does i the other day partner left the gate open to the backyard- it was an open invitation to use
