The Reverend Alex Thomas Spring is such a wonderful season. The blossoms come out on the trees. Plants of all kind begin to bloom.
Leaves begin to sprout on the branches of trees with that wonderful bright green colour.
Birds songs are heard that have been silent over the winter months. It begins to get warmer. But what if Spring was never to come. What if because of some astronomical disaster we all were caught in the grip of a winter that would not let go, and the earth remained dark, cold, wet, and barren for years on end. It must seem like that in Newfoundland these days.
