Spring is Sprung

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz

Look at where the birdies is

The birdies on the wing.

On the wing? But that's absurd!

The wing is on the bird.

(Having hunted for this poem that my dad used to say when I was little, it seems there is a wide range of versions and almost as wide a range of possible authors, so no credits here!)

Spring have sprung means the winds, the winds have returned! Today is the worst day yet this spring and, having not spent spring in this house before, it is kinda scary. Everything is rattling, the chimney is howling, as Husbink put it, we don't have a draft in the bathroom, we have a breeze!

Very, very glad Husbink took the car to work this morning instead of cycling...
