Hints of spring are popping up in the Valley lately, the G.L.A.D. Club reports; plus a recipe
The Robin’s Song
Last night I heard a robin singing in the rain,
And the raindrops’ patter made a sweet refrain,
Making all the sweeter the music of the strain
So, I thought, when trouble comes, as trouble will,
Why should I stop singing? Just beyond the hill
It may be that sunshine floods the green world still.
He who faces trouble with a hear t of cheer
Makes the burden lighter. If there falls a tear,
Sweeter is the cadence in the song we hear.
I have learned your lesson, bird of dappled wing,
Listening to your music with its promises of spring:
When the storm cloud darkens, then is the time to sing.
– Eben E. Rexford
We had hints of spring: The robins were in the trees, and there are sprigs of green on the grass. Let’s welcome spring!
