APRIL BEGINS BY GETTING RID OF MARCH

In the month of March, Old Man Winter behaved like the guest who is invited to dinner then stays late.  St. Louis was treated with the same quirky weather as were other cities and nations on this Planet.  When it should have been  time for Spring to come to our table, she remained hidden behind layers of mist, fog, snow and ice.  The lady seemed deserted by the Sun. Rivers raged when they should have been bubbling brooks.  Winter came to us much too soon and is still hanging around.

No matter how bad things were, some of the upside to all this was the presence of the young and old who raised strong voices to tell us we need to change our ways if we are to protect Mother Earth and  ourselves.
