Do you remember on May Day where you would have streamers on flagpole at school and play over under, etc? The sun would be shining, all the little girls would have cute sundresses on with shoes and socks. Remember any of that?? Well, today in the Ozarks, it is 47 degrees, rainy, somewhat windy; our heater is turned up, we have layers and layers on. What is wrong with this picture? What happened to our SPRING??

It seems the last few years we have gone from winter to summer with no spring and from summer to winter with no fall.

Oh spring is there, but it is just too cold for it to come outside.

I remember dancing around the maypole. It was a big deal, because only the 5th graders got to dance, and the younger ones had to watch.
