Robins, Frogs and Spring

Spring keeps tempting us but it will arrive only when it is ready. The frogs have the answer.

 

 
Robins have been here for a while.
You must look at them and smile.
They come early because they’re bold.
Still they endure a lot of cold.
 
Temperatures begin to climb
and people believe it’s sublime.
But they’re just living in a fog
because they haven’t heard the frog.
 
Now the frog begins to croak
but it’s not spring, it’s just a joke.
“When you hear the frog,” my dad said,
“they’ll once more have ice o’er their head.”
 
One more cold spell will come our way
then spring will arrive in full sway
so we can put our coats away
and bring out our shorts as we play.

Awwwww, how endearing and so true too. Spring will burst forth in full bloom soon, it's coming, it's coming...

Be always safe,
Karen

An old Norwegian author, Bjornstjerner Bjorson, said "I take April" because it was the month which offer the four seasons.
The old guy most have had a direct line with the Great Meteorologist in the Sky.
