Winter and spring

摘要

When icicles hang by the wall and Dick the shepherd blows his nail..... Ah, yes, my old friend William S. from Stratford on Avon wrote those lines to describe a cold winter's day. I thought he did a pretty good job considering he wasn't even from the Midwest.rnWe who live in the Midwest often brag about how bad our winter's are, and we like to point out how the other guy's is just a little worse.rnFor example, there's a story about a man who owned a farm in North Dakota, right on the Minnesota border. One day, a government surveyor came by and told him there had been a mistake and the farm was really located in Minnesota, not North Dakota.
