Happy Spring Equinox, Everyone! Here's a little poem by Frederick the Mouse, one of my newest favorites, in honor of the season change...

Who scatters snowflakes? Who melts the ice?
Who spoils the weather? Who makes it nice?
Who grows the four-leaf clovers in June?
Who dims the daylight? Who lights the moon?

Four little field mice who live in the sky.

Four little field mice, like you and I!

One is the Springmouse who turns on the showers.

Then comes the Summer who paints in the flowers.

The Fallmouse is next with walnuts and wheat,

And Winter is last...with little cold feet.


Aren't we lucky the seasons are four?

Think of a year with one less...or one more!

...and now, it's snack time.
