Ahh, it was a balmy 16 degrees here in Wellsboro when I got up this morning. Stop shivering and start celebrating. It's Spring! (Don't worry, we still have 10 days to prove the old adage; In like a lion, out like a lamb:)
A big thank you to the 2 patrons and 1 staff member who answered the call of Spring, and the call of Sandy (me), for submissions to help us shake off the Winter doldrums. Here they are in the order they were received:
Compliments of Ms. Geryl Stabley of Wellsboro, a little tidbit she likes to post on her answering machine:
Spring has sprung,
the grass has ris.
I wonder were
the lawnmower is?
Contibuted by library staff member, and 8th grade teacher(NTSD) Jessica Spencer:
Animal Behavior
The first day of March showed no sign of hope,
With bitter-cold temperatures and snow covered slopes.
March had arrived coming in like a lion,
Roaring and clawing and desperately trying;
To keep spring sequestered and faint in our minds,
As the days they approached to push ahead time.
The mornings grew dark as the nights lingered on.
The snow melted away and uncovered the lawns.
The daffodils and iris’ peeked out of the ground,
A little bit leery of Old Man Winter’s sound.
A quick turn of the wind and a shift in the clouds,
Dropped water or snow by the bucket or pound.
We dropped our heads, but knew in our hearts,
That the battle was being won by the warmth.
For as the third month approached its end,
The animal mentioned is more of a friend.
A sign of fresh flowers and dirt covered hands,
That March will surely go out like a lamb.

Spring
Spring is going to be here soon;
the time when all the flowers bloom
And when the air is fresh and clean,
its the prettiest season you've ever see.
When the lilies are fresh and new:
But when Spring is near, its the best time of year,
I like Spring, don't you?
