Description
It is Spring by Karen Cook - "When the groundhog casts his shadow And the small birds sing And the pussy willows happen And the sun shines warm And when the peepers peep Then it is Spring" - Margaret Wise Brown
One of the first signs of Springtime in Nova Scotia is the appearance of Pussy Willow buds, or catkins. And after a drenching rain (You know...April showers bring May flowers and all that ) I was so pleased to see the fuzzy little buds adorned with water droplets and rain drops.
And the peepers were peeping last night! Peepers are tiny chorus frogs whose songs fill the night air in Spring...another definite sign that winter is over and it is Spring!
Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952) was an American writer of children's books including the beloved Goodnight Moon and the Runaway Bunny.
And she knew exactly when she spotted the pussy willows she could say to herself...'then it is Spring'
