Ok, call me the Grinch. But winter was really getting me depressed. The snow on the roadside had turned into a sickly shade of brown and every-thing seemed to turn black-and-white like an old bad movie. When I went into Whyville, there was the movie again. Ok, maybe I'm a little exaggerating, but the kid inside me who loved to slide got bored and now got excited of a green blade of grass.

Now, I went on and POW! It was like a new invention -- coloured life! I logged into Whyville, and pretty flowers had bloomed, and no more snow!!! I went to the Sportsplatz -- IT WAS GREEN!!! Flowers sprouted on the hillside beside the bus. The bus-driver was no longer in a terrible case of bad winter fashion sense. I heard birds through my mind, and I yelled with delight.

So, folks. It is what you've been waiting for: spring. And it's here! (Look, no more shoveling!) I don't know where you might live, maybe in Mexico, I don't know, but here in Quebec, here in Canada and Vermont, and some other states, there has been a change. The Easter bunny's magic, probably. But it's spring!

Ruffy.
