If Spring Could Tell Time…
Yikes. Does spring really know what time it is? Has it counted the days on the calendar and said, “Hmmm. Time to get melting.” Nope. This old-fashion winter just keeps piling on the inches of fluff or in some cases, yuck. So as we trudge through February, it’s clear that January passed with no mid-winter thaw. So let’s knock that high hopeful off the calendar. I’m guessing that spring just doesn’t go by our datebook.
So as I dig through all the collected tidbits of new fangled products and brochures from yesterday’s New England Grows Show, Benjamin Disraeli provides us with the best advice for our remaining winter days. “But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day. “Forgo calculating the number of days until spring. But if you’re running a tally, spring is just moments away. I think it’s something like 43 days, 12 hours, ten minutes and 55 seconds but who’s counting!
