NO WINTER LASTS FOREVER; NO SPRING SKIPS ITS TURN

WHAT DOES SPRINGTIME BRING?

Springtime gives a lot to people and things that are close to their hearts. During this time, there are a lot of changes, rebirths, freshness, showers, flowers that bloom, and suckers that sprout. But Springtime comes at various times of the year in most countries. Springtime in India is from March to April. Fiji is from September to December. In Benin, Springtime starts from March to July. In the United Kingdom, it begins from March to June. And in Timbuktu, it is from March to June. The wonderful thing about spring is that it brings an overwhelming command of the atmosphere and is comes with humidity and great showers. Springtime gives merriment to this time of the year. A great deal of planning, fixing and time to consider and ponder over things seen and unseen begin to take their climax. A sense of joy becomes apparent, and a 'take and make' feeling becomes genuine.
