4/15/2015 0 Comments April is the New MarchFor years and years, I have always regarded the month of March as being the worst month in the calendar. Nothing good ever came out of March and nothing good ever comes out of it – especially the weather. You just never know what is going to fall from the sky – rain, snow, sleet, hail, sunbeams, a bitter wind. At least that is what it is like in this part of the world. At least that is what used to happen. I don’t know if it has anything to do with global warming or something like it that some people refuse to acknowledge, but March (the typical Spring has Sprung month in Canada) has now been pushed back into the deep, dark cold of the Canadian winter months.
March is no longer a Spring month. It is a winter month. It is because of that fact that April is the new March. Now in April, you never know what is going to come out of the sky. You may have a week of bitter wind with cold temperatures and cold, or you may have a week of sunshine, melting snow and T-shirt and shorts weather. Yes, April is the new March. It is unfortunate because I’ve always liked April. April always meant a new beginning, new growth, fresh air and venturing outside without covering in head to toe in winter clothing. Now, April has become that dreaded month of March with all its uncertainty and depressing weather. April showers no longer bring May flowers. They bring out the snow shovels and shorten our already short summer. When you think of it, Canada is not really out of the clear with winter until well into May. I don’t remember it being like that. Perhaps I’m just getting old.
