Spring was, of course, not far behind but still late by a couple of weeks. Soon, it was sworn in as the ruler of these parts of the earth. As far as winter was concerned it did give way to spring but not before leaving traces of its contributions so that spring will find it difficult to make its presence felt at the outset.

The main job of spring is to stretch the days longer and longer backward and forward so that night becomes an eight hour affair!…and it is contrary to what winter does.

So, the people, as usual, expected bright and sunny days and did experience the thrill of such an atmosphere only to be duped by the traces of winter’s leftovers! In fact, winter was playing spoil sports by restraining the enthusiastic spring. There were intermittent rains and cool winds. But wait! You will recall some of the good qualities of the winter when spring is at its peak! [When the days are too long and your sleeping hours are reduced to the minimum].
