MAY 2019

The Golden Chronicle Sponsored this month by First Federal Savings Bank

Friends:

Have you noticed… the grass is greener, there are more nice days than not so nice days, that we are starting to plan out of town activities, and have you noticed that we are all in better moods? It is funny how weather can really affect something like that, but it’s true.

May is such a great time of year. We have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. The weather is muc better, it’s also time to plant flowers and brighten things up after a long winter

Winters are long here in Rochester, and the arrival of spring can never come soon enough. We eagerly await the first sounds of the season and the bright burst of flowers that let us know warmer tempera-tures are on their way.

When I was young, I remember getting on my bike for the first time after cold, dreary winters; wear-ing new brightly colored spring dresses to school; playing jacks on the sidewalk by our front porch; putting on my dime store roller skates and gliding down the sidewalk; seeing the first tulips pop up in our garden; looking for illusive four-leaf clovers in the backyard; going to the city park, getting bumped on the seesaw, dizzy on on the merry-go-round, climbing the slide, and swinging as high as I could; playing hopscotch with my friends on a chalk-drawn grid; having an open window in my bed-room at night; chasing hopping frogs; seeing sheets billowing from the clothesline in the breezy sun-shine, playing outside after supper till it was dusk, as the sun began to set, and then coming in for a bath before bedtime; splashing through a spring rain in galoshes and raincoat, under an umbrella.

So, the coming of spring always called for rejoicing. We were set free once again. It was a different time in those days. Children lived for — they craved — being outside. Without the concerns of today regarding safety, we roamed the streets — our neighborhood, our turf. Driven by that special curiosity only children possess, we patrolled all our secret nooks and crannies, looking for anything interesting left over from the ravages of winter.

Assured that our outdoor stomping grounds had maintained their integrity, we could relax and get down to the business of once more playing under the warmth of the sun.

Do you have special memories of the coming of spring from your childhood? I bet you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAY 2019

The Golden Chronicle Sponsored this month by First Federal Savings Bank

Friends:

Have you noticed… the grass is greener, there are more nice days than not so nice days, that we are starting to plan out of town activities, and have you noticed that we are all in better moods? It is funny how weather can really affect something like that, but it’s true.

May is such a great time of year. We have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. The weather is muc better, it’s also time to plant flowers and brighten things up after a long winter

Winters are long here in Rochester, and the arrival of spring can never come soon enough. We eagerly await the first sounds of the season and the bright burst of flowers that let us know warmer tempera-tures are on their way.

When I was young, I remember getting on my bike for the first time after cold, dreary winters; wear-ing new brightly colored spring dresses to school; playing jacks on the sidewalk by our front porch; putting on my dime store roller skates and gliding down the sidewalk; seeing the first tulips pop up in our garden; looking for illusive four-leaf clovers in the backyard; going to the city park, getting bumped on the seesaw, dizzy on on the merry-go-round, climbing the slide, and swinging as high as I could; playing hopscotch with my friends on a chalk-drawn grid; having an open window in my bed-room at night; chasing hopping frogs; seeing sheets billowing from the clothesline in the breezy sun-shine, playing outside after supper till it was dusk, as the sun began to set, and then coming in for a bath before bedtime; splashing through a spring rain in galoshes and raincoat, under an umbrella.

So, the coming of spring always called for rejoicing. We were set free once again. It was a different time in those days. Children lived for — they craved — being outside. Without the concerns of today regarding safety, we roamed the streets — our neighborhood, our turf. Driven by that special curiosity only children possess, we patrolled all our secret nooks and crannies, looking for anything interesting left over from the ravages of winter.

Assured that our outdoor stomping grounds had maintained their integrity, we could relax and get down to the business of once more playing under the warmth of the sun.

Do you have special memories of the coming of spring from your childhood? I bet you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
