Dear Spring,
It has come to our attention that you have not arrived at the appointed time this year. While promptness is not mandatory, tardiness is frowned upon here in southeastern Pennsylvania, and probably throughout the rest of the United States, not to mention the World.
That said, we can certainly relate to the need to sleep in. Continuing a long hibernation is also something we can empathize with. But here's our problem – Old Man Winter is still with us, albeit on life support. He wouldn't want to live like this, and knowing that, we must pull the plug sooner rather than later. As his last wish, he requested blooms from the forsythia and daffodils, who reluctantly complied, but there it will end. We will remain in this gray, chilly limbo until you've taken Old Man Winter's place – your rightful place – in the progression of Seasons.
So, in conclusion, WAKE UP !!!
Sincerely,
Zone 6
(Philadelphia Region)
