Dear Curiosity Journal,
Early spring is a tenuous time for tender transplants and tidy rows of burgeoning greens. We tend to their sensitivity, monitoring overnight temperatures, and “tucking them in” under a blanket of remay when the chilling shadow of frost threatens to darken their bed. The little sprouts tough it out as Winter whips back into action, unwilling to step down from her frosty throne just yet. She pushes her show-off sister Spring aside for having the audacity to step up before Winter took her final bow. Meanwhile, Wisconsinites boo her off the stage and chant for Spring – an unruly Shakespearean transition.
