Spring poetry for the spirit

Spring has sprung
De boids 1s on da wing!
Why dats absoid -
De wings 1s on de bord!

LIKE MY poetry seasonable. Right now is the

perfect time to quote again the immortal! words
of A.N. Onymous who wrote:

seems it's for everybody and
everything. Whether we work
hard to bring it into being or
just sit around waiting for its

the
srowing
edge

by Hayden Stewart

Now doesn’t that make
you feel good? Spring is a
great time of the year. It

arrival, lo and behold, we
discover ourselves to be
swept up into its liveliness.

All around us life is being
born again. That scraggly,
skinny, deadly brown mess of
badly arranged  left-overs
from another ume, all of a
sudden starts being the begin-
ning of a gorgeous mass of
hydrangeas, even though we
have not turned a hand to
facilitate the miracle.

For several months now we
have done not one little thing
to care for or warm or feed or
encourage those whirring lit-
tle bits of life which we call
humming birds. But they
come back to us again and
again, and without our help
or our teaching, proceed to
make some more humming
birds. It’s spring.

We used to say, ‘‘In the
spring a young man’s fancy,
but the rest of the year he
wears dirty old jeans.”” It’s
not quite like that now, but
nevertheless, something ex-
citing happens to kids at this
urmfie of year. For example,
they start to wear shorts.

Dehydrating food

WITH THE RESURGING
interest in dned foods, a
number of kitchen
dehydrators have appeared
on the market.

They come in various sizes
and shapes often with a range
of features and pmces. The

main function of these ap-
pliances is to dehydrate, or
remove water, from food in
the shortest time possible.

This is accomplished with
heat (80-150°F) and  cir-
culating air.

Most people agree that

Always there are kids who
wear them too early (so we
say, with our extraordinary
wisdom) and we tind
ourselves thinking they're a
bit crazy, even while we're
proud of them for getting on
with the spring of their lives.

it’s trite to say that spring
heralds new life ali around
us. But take a gander at

Thank God for spring! But
thank God too for the fact
that important growth in any
of the family of homo sa-
piens is also appropriate and
accessible during any season
of the calendar year. Some
things in nature wait for spr-

take new steps into maturity.
