SPRING IS IN THE AIR
Spring may be officially here, but it is hard to believe with all the snow on the ground. April can be that
crazy transition month in Ontario where we can expect anything from snowstorms to t-shirt weather. For
many of us, this is not our favorite time of year. Personally, I am not a fan of the dirty, muddy streets and
sidewalks and driveways as the snow melts.
Have you ever noticed though how kids see the seasons and weather differently from adults? I have never
heard kids analyze the weather like we do. They tend to look for the positives and are great at finding the
fun in any weather and making a game out of almost anything.

This time of year, children walk around with a glow in their eyes,
seeking out the biggest and muddiest puddle to jump in. The theme is,
“Let’s see just how wet and muddy we can get!” They scout around for
dirty snow piles left in yards or parking lots and, when they do find
them, they are always drawn to climbing to the top. Gravel and dirt on
the roads? No bother! “Let’s get our bikes out and race down the street!”
I love the carefree way that children naturally seek out the fun in any
situation.
Now, April comes hand in hand with yummy maple syrup, sugar shacks
and Easter fun, so I would like to wishing everyone a Happy Easter and
here’s hoping for a quick melt and sunny days ahead!
