Dear Children: From the way the
March winds are blowing l believe
that April will come in as quietly as
a lamb. I hope so, for surely these
gusts makes US blink our eyes and
shiVer.
Tuesday morning when I started
to the Office the jonquils in our yard
were limp little yellow silky scraps.
1t just made you sad to look at
them. But just as soon as the wind
died down and the sun came out, up
came these brave blossoms to glad
lden our eyes again. 1t made me feel
that surely the rest Of us could hold
up our heads after heavy wind if
these delicate little flowers were so
brave. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
