Hello, Bonjour, Hola to my Hug Bug Pals!
I’m so glad that you have come my way.
Hello, Springtime, say, you’re looking fine,
I’ll put on my rubber boots and we can have a time.In the mud puddles, splashing, making mud pies
Looking for baby birds under rainy skies,
Flowers pop up into colours bright,
Taking off my winter coat is always a delight!
From the song “Hello Winter” on “Diamonds and Dragons”
and in “A World of Music Music Book” (also available with CD)

Springtime inspires me to chase away “The Clutter Bug” blues and clean up my home. There are so many things that I don’t use any more that can be donated to Thrift Stores and help charities.

In Sechelt, we had a very cold, snowy winter and there is still lots of snow on our local mountains. I am so ready for sunshine and warm weather! Springtime brings rainy days with lots of “Puddles” to splash in. The rain makes our gardens, fields and forests grow. Let’s Celebrate Earth Day on April 22 – a special day that reminds us to protect our Earth and do what we can to create a healthy environment for all living things. Plant some flowers and vegetables around your home, at school, and in your community. Did you know that most fruits and vegetables that we eat have flowers? “Each of us is a Flower, Growing in Life’s Garden”. Even bananas come from a flowering banana tree plant. This delicious fruit is grown in warm climates all around the world.
Now “All the Nations Like Bananas”! I love singing this song and dancing to the Latin-American rhythm!
