Fast forward a dozen years, and I’m all grown up, living on my own, a thousand miles from my Illinois childhood. March came. Ice and snow. April came. Wind, cold, some snow, weak sun. May, even June, more of the same, mostly minus the snow. (Although, surely we remember having snow in May, right?)
Even June can be stingy with the nice weather. Of course, the bulbs come up, the trees leaf out, the lilacs bloom (though three weeks later than the ones in my Illinois yard) and eventually, spring does arrive. Right now, even though Easter has come and gone, spring is holding off.

PETER O’MAHONY HAS signed a new year two-year contract with the IRFU, keeping him at Munster until the end of the 2022/23 season.
The 31-year-old has remained a key figure in the Ireland team since Andy Farrell took over from Joe Schmidt after the 2019 World Cup and came into the current Six Nations campaign in superb form.

New Canaan is seeing new positive cases of COVID-19 virus trend down week-by-week, Health Director Jenn Eielson said Thursday, and the state recently doubled the number of vaccinations made available to the town.
The town saw a “sustained high” in cases starting in early November, and that’s been changing recently, “so this is good progress,” Eielson told members of the Health & Human Services Commission during their regular meeting, held via videoconference.
“But we knew that was going to happen with the holidays and gatherings,” she said. “So this is good news.”
BRADFORD-based domestic and sexual abuse charity, Staying Put, has welcomed two new board members. Helen Hirst and Dr Ranjit Arora FRSA were officially welcomed to the charity at its AGM last month. They will play a vital role in ensuring a clear strategy for the organisation, build on the charity’s foundation of an inclusive culture, and ensure that Staying Put remains creative, which the charity hopes will result in wider success. The charity has seen an unprecedented number of calls over the last year, due to a sharp rise in domestic abuse during the pandemic, leading the charity to adapt rapidly to meet demand.
