Main Text
Suddenly, it's spring. Trees heavy with bud, released from winter's inactivity, await the moment to blossom forth in delicate new foliage. Children, toboggans put aside, sally out on bicycles and, unrestricted by heavy snow-suits, run free once more. Lovers roam the sunny walks, farmers get busy with the season's work. Through open bedroom windows, early one clear fresh morning, the calling of geese, headed far north, brings townsfolk to wakefulness and the realization that nature's time for activity and growth is really come at last. For people of the northern hemisphere a new zest for life appears after winter's rest is over and life's cycle starts afresh. Spring has come once more to Canada, with its magic ever new.
