Signs of Spring The robin’s sweetly sung refrain, announces that it’s spring again. As winter’s dark and somber hue, gives way to skies of brilliant blue. While underneath my windowsill, a single perfect daffodil unfurls its petals in the sun in celebration spring’s begun... The endless pageant of rebirth, renews the beauty of the earth. By Ruth Poynor Like everyone else, I look forward to spring every year. To start it off right, here are a couple of hot stir fry salads you can enjoy with a dish of rice and a warm dinner roll.
