Today I am reporting on a seldom seen event: there is a large object in the sky which seems to be giving off heat and light. My library workers say this object is the
sun. Old-timers say they recall when several days of
sun would precede a season called
spring. When asked, the Old-timers said something called
flowers (technical term) would appear, the
buds (technical term) on the trees would begin to show, and the
snow (obnoxious white stuff AND
technical term) would disappear. They also recalled
grass (technical term) appearing from underneath the snow (oh those
technical terms!).
Should this
spring really occur, Humans and Animals will be leaping and skipping and hopping about. (Cats, of course, will be doing all this in a Very Dignified manner.) Old-timers will sing songs about “Tiptoeing Through the Tulips” and other fanciful melodies. Everybody look up into the sky and sing a song of welcome!!!
Your weather Repurrter,
Tober
