'SPRINTER', 'WRING', Summer Or Fall...All Ya Gotta Do Is...WARM-UP, Why Don't Ya???

     I've come up with a new, 'twist', on the season, which, we are experiencing, of late; This, confused, stretch of time, filled with, continued, cold, damp, weather, with flies a-buzz, daffodils, rearing their little-heads, and, new-buds, on the trees. I am going to refer to this, period, displaying, both, Spring and Winter characteristic(s) this, 'hybrid', as 'Sprinter', or, 'Wring'; the latter, which, seems, most, appropriate, as this is what we'll have to do to dry ourselves out, after ALL this rain! While out walking the pooch, this, night, I have heard the 'peepers'. I suspected that I perceived the sound of their little 'chirps', last, night; Yet, with the wind, gusting about, I was unsure. But...it's a certainty...THEY'RE BACK! As these, little toads are, DEFINITELY, a 'sign of Spring', only returning, once the marshes have thawed, and, the temps, have increased, there's 'promise', 'in the air', that, soon, we'll ALL be enjoying some, much, deserved, anticipated, and, ANXIOUSLY awaited warmth. In the meantime, I'll enjoy WHATEVER, show of Spring, we're fortunate to experience, to date. The forsythia, which, I brought indoors on Spring's first day, and, 'forced' into bloom, have cooperated, nicely. If nothing else, I have some, SPRING, in the form of lovely, yellow-flowers, gracing my home. They'll do...for now! Just Sayin'...
