ed as if one could smell new mown
hay out In the fields where it sent us
wandering, and as we passed through
the scent of late blackberries came to
us with the sun shining brightly onto
them, and birds sang. It seemed as
if it was autumn and the farmers
were tossing the hay, but as the team
passed and our eyes took in the land
scupe around us with great patches of
snow and ice on the ground, we were
glad after all that instead of autumn,
spring would non be here, with the
early flowers coming up and the song
birds flying back to us and we thought
we would even welcome the croak of
the frogs too, for this has been a very
hard winter and the first glimpse of

the shrill cry Of the frogs, from the
