"First day of Spring tomorrow!" The Weather Teller says....
Outside, the Death of Winter Drags along, Over-acted, under-cut, and slow... Decaying, ***** piles freshed again In wet and heavy snow While water fowl vee North, Circling low to find slim-margined waters Lining shores and cupping Cakes of ice the size of lakes, Brooding in their rotten state, And waiting Orders from the Sun, Whose work it is to usher Spring In all her greening garb to stand And bless the annual Burgeoning.
We've had a long, cold, hard Winter in the Midwestern U.S. Spring is slowly moving North, but she is in no hurry.
