song birds and flowers Spring was
greeted early this morning with a
murky fog. which followed the rain
yesterday. but shortly after 6 O'Clock
this morning the golden rays of the
rising sun peeped over the horizon,
and by noon the day was all that
could be expected.
school children romping ON their
way to school had thoughts distracted
for awhile by visions of May parties,
and the few dandelions and orchids
that had ventured to shoot forth their
blooms last week. seemed to leap for
ward with greeting 10 Spring. The
greensward, owing to the mild
weather Of the past winter. is already
green and the only thing noticeable
was the length of the grass, which
grew considerable following the warm
rain of yesterday.
The weather man predicts rain this
afternoon or tonight and colder.
