March Snow By Charles J. Read Somehow we wanted to believe celestial heavens, just for Lent, would give up dropping snow.
It may have been the ashes, that pile we left from Wednesday that prompted snow to fall For I recall Nature cares much for neatness not ashes gray and gloomy, so why not cover them with white. That's right The heavens only played with patience as we tired of galoshes, sweaters yearning for jonquils, tints of yellow, Spring mellow For March First snow is but a kiss, tender with hints of passion ... our winter friend, its wink goodbye. Oh, my!
(Picture, ''Albany in Snow,'' by Walter Launt Palmer (1871).

Nice job, Charlie. And so, so right on. The calendar shouts, " Spring is comin' in! " The north wind whispers, " Not yet."

Well done, cousin! As the snow piles grow taller beside my Alton driveway but the forsythia has buds, I do believe Mother Nature and Old Man Winter are reading different pages - - - if not different books.
