Spring has come forward with rush |
for the past few days. Following the |
rain of the first of the week we had some
almost Summer-like weather, and the
transition from pretty good sleighing to
muddy wheeling was sudden. Crows are
eawing, the robins sing in the morning,
the hills are more than half bare OF snow,
and the grass on the lawns is surprisingly
green for March. There must be very
little frost in the ground, and continu-
ance of the mild weather, if we have it,
will settle things rapidly. There has
been an unusual run of shedding" this
winter, and it has been well employed.
Never was there buster season.
