Every week we hear from Minnesota school kids and regular listeners as they call or email us with their nature observations. Snowbuntings, skunk sightings, robins, moose and swelling buds on trembling aspens are just a few of this week's developments. August from Shevlin shared the following poem which he found in his Waldorf school book:
Whether the Weather
Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
