Spring has sprung poem
SHERRIBNC(NC/7)March 10, 2005
My grandmother said she learned this poem in grade school.
She taught it to me as a child. I have tried to do some research on the poem but have not had any luck.
Has anyone ever heard this?
"Spring has sprung!", said the bumble bee.
"How do you know?", said the old oak tree.
"I just saw a daffodil blooming on a windy hill!"
Grandmother is 77 now and in the hospital.
We have been very worried about her,
but my brother and I have had a good laugh, we both carried
daffodils to her and recited her poem.
Billy stops Paddy in Dublin and asks for the quickest way to Cork.
Paddy says, "Are you on foot or in the car?"
Billy says, "In the car."
Paddy says, "That's the quickest way."

Elder's Meditation of the Day "We say there is a right time and place for everything. It's easy to say, but hard to understand. You have to live it to understand it."
-- Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
The Elders tell us there is a right time and a
right place. Don't plant seeds in the fall wrong time. One way we find out about the
right time and right place is our experience. If
we are lucky, we have a few friends who will
share their experience; this will help us too.
The best way is to let God guide us. Only He
knows the right time and the right place. So
we need to pray and ask Him for guidance.
Great Spirit, show me patience so I can live in the right time and right place.

Commonwealth Day in Canada
Commonwealth Day is annually held on the second Monday of March. it commemorates the Commonwealth of Nations, which is a union of some countries that used to be part of the British Empire. The
date was chosen because it did not have any previous historical connotations.

buildings and premises.©iStockphoto.com/philpell
What do people do?
Commonwealth Day is not a widely marked day in many parts of Canada. Federal government regulations stipulate that the Royal Union Flag, or Union Jack, should be flown alongside the national flag of
Canada on or at government buildings and premises, such as federal buildings, military bases and airports. The Royal Union Flag should only be flown from sunrise to sunset and where physical arrangements allow. In practical terms, this means that there should be at least two flag poles. The Royal Union
Flag should not replace the Canadian flag if there is only one flag pole. In some years, particular communities mark Commonwealth Day with receptions or exhibitions.

Background
In the 1800s, Great
Britain controlled a large empire
that included a
large part of what is now Canada.
Many influential figures in Canada at that time had British roots and wished to celebrate and emphasize
these. From 1898, Empire Day was celebrated in Canadian schools on the last school day before Queen
Victoria's Birthday on May 24. The celebrations often lasted a whole day and included speeches by trustees and the singing of inspirational songs. After Queen Victoria's death in 1901, her birthday became an
annual commemoration of her life and the pride people felt for being part of the British Empire. To celebrate, people often lit fireworks and bonfires.
As time passed and Canadians developed a separate identity from Great Britain, Empire Day became
less important. In 1958, it was renamed Commonwealth Day to reflect the changes in the relationship
between Great Britain and her former colonies. In 1973, a Canadian proposal was made to observe Commonwealth Day on the same day in all Commonwealth countries, the second Monday in March. This
date was chosen because it did not have any significant historical connotations. In 1976, this proposal
was accepted. However, the last Monday before or on May 24 remained a statutory holiday, known as
Victoria Day, in many Canadian provinces and territories.
Commonwealth Day is also officially observed in a large number of countries that were formally part of
the British Empire. These include many of the countries in the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
However, there are few notable celebrations to mark the day.

St David's Day in Canada
Many Canadians of Welsh descent or those with Welsh connections celebrate St David’s Day on
March 1 each year. The Welsh flag is often seen during celebrations on the day, as well as daffodils or leeks pinned to clothing.

What do people do?
Many Welsh groups organize various festivities for St David’s Day in Canada. Events include
choir concerts that celebrate the culture and heritage of Wales. Some concerts feature guest musicians from Wales. Some people of Welsh descent or organizations that have Welsh ties display
the Welsh flag on St David’s Day. It is also a time for people of Welsh origin to wear daffodils or
leeks on their clothing as a symbol of their connection to Wales.
Other celebrations for St David’s Day include St David’s Day balls, banquets, parades, and special church services. St David’s Day events are organized in towns and cities around Canada, including Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Public life
St David's Day is not a public holiday in Canada. However, it is a day of celebration so some community groups, schools, and businesses may have a special program specifically for St David’s
Day.
Background
St David is the
patron
saint of Wales.
He plays a
very important
role in
Welsh culture
but little is
known about
his life. St
David’s Day is a
time for
Welsh communities in
Canada to celebrate their
background
and to remember those
with Welsh
ties who made
great contributions in
Canada.
People of Welsh
background, such as 19th century explorer David Thompson and 20th century novelist Robertson Davies, are remembered on this day.
Many Canadians can trace their ancestry to Wales. For example, according to statistics from
2001, there are 60,000 Canadians of Welsh origin in Alberta. An article on St David’s Day in the
United Kingdom covers more information about St David’s Day’s origins and symbols.

St. Patrick's Day in Canada
St Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador
on the nearest Monday to March 17 each year. It remembers St Patrick, a missionary who converted many of Ireland's inhabitants to Christianity in the 5th century. His feast day also celebrates Irish culture.

culture, history and traditions.©iStockphoto.com/Garth Johnson
What do people do?
In some cities, notably Toronto and Montreal, large scale St Patrick's Day parades are held, often on the Sunday closest to March 17. The parade in Montreal has been held every year since
1824. However, the first recorded celebration of St Patrick's Day was in 1759 by Irish soldiers
serving with the British army following their conquest of part of New France, a French colony in
North America. In some places there are Irish cultural events. For instance, the Irish Associa-
tion of Manitoba or
day festival of Irish culture in the week of St Patrick's Day.
ganizes a three-
People who have an Irish background or enjoy Irish culture may hold Irish themed parties and
serve traditional dishes, such as Colcannon or Irish stew. Colcannon is a dish of mashed potatoes mixed with kale or cabbage and Irish stew is traditionally made with lamb and root vegetables. Traditional Irish drinks include stout, a dark beer, and whiskey. Other parties may be
themed around the color green. Guests may be expected to wear green clothes and only green
food and drink is served.
Public life
St Patrick's Day is an official holiday in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is observed by the provincial government, but post offices, stores, many schools, businesses and other organizations are open. Public transport services run on their regular timetables.
5 Elders’ Rock
St Patrick's Day is not a public holiday in other parts of Canada. Schools, organizations, businesses, stores and post offices are open as usual. Some organizations may arrange St Patrick's Day
parties, but these do not usually disrupt normal affairs. Public transport services run on their regular timetables. In cities, where parades or large public events are held, there may be some congestion or road closures.
Background
St Patrick's Day marks the feast day and anniversary of the death of a Christian missionary known
as Patrick. He was born in the year 387, probably somewhere near the present day border between Scotland and England. At the age of 16, he was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave.
During this period, he became very religious and after six years he fled back to his family.
Later in his life, he returned to Ireland as a missionary. He is said to have played an important
role in converting the inhabitants of Ireland to Christianity and in ridding the island of snakes.
However, there is no evidence that there have been any snakes in Ireland in the past 10,000
years. The ―snakes‖ he drove out of Ireland may represent particular groups of pagans or druids.
It is believed that St Patrick died on March 17 probably in the year 461 or 493 (according to different sources). St Patrick is buried under Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, County Down, and is
one of the three patron saints of Ireland. The other patron saints are St Brigid of Kildare and St
Columba.
St Patrick's Day celebrations were brought to Canada by Irish immigrants. The day is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. In the rest of the United
Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, it is celebrated, but is not an official holiday.
Symbols
The most widely-seen St Patrick's Day symbols are the colors green, and sometimes orange, and
the shamrock. The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland and a registered trademark of the Republic of
Ireland. It is the leaf of the clover plant, which grows on the ground, often among grass and an
Irish Catholic symbol of the Holy Trinity. It is sometimes confused with the four-leaf clover,
which is a variety of the three-leaf clover and is thought to bring good luck.

Palm Sunday in Canada
Many Christians in Canada remember Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on
Palm Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week. This day is also on the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
Many churches offer their congregation with blessed palm leaves on Palm Sunday. They sometimes come in the shape of a cross.©iStockphoto.com/SondraP
What do people do?
Many Christian churches hold special services on Palm Sunday where congregation members
receive blessed palm leaves, which symbolize victory and joy. Palm Sunday palms are usually
kept and used to make the Ash Wednesday ashes for the next year. Service readings focus on
the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and the events in his life that took place, including his
suffering, prior to his death on the cross.
Churches may involve children by blessing them, including children’s songs and hymns, or
having special Sunday school sessions. Some people within the Catholic community and other
Christian denominations devote their time learning about the story of Jesus Christ’s suffering
in the lead up to his death and resurrection. Some university chapel choirs sing special songs
on Palm Sunday.
Public life
Palm Sunday is not a federal holiday in Canada. However, it is held on a Sunday, which is a
non-school day and non-working day for many Canadians.
Background
Palm Sunday is observed among many Christian churches as part of Holy Week in Canada. It
is the last Sunday during the Lenten period, as well as the Sunday before Easter Sunday. Palm
Sunday events and traditions have been observed in Canada for many years. Newspaper articles as far back as the late 19th century described Palm Sunday observations such as the blessing of palms at church services in cities such as Winnipeg, in Manitoba.

World Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day is on March 3 every year to raise awareness of endangered animals and
plants, and ways to fight against wildlife crime.

Pledges and Donations
Wildlife crime involves illegally selling and buying animal body parts, as well as stealing or killing animals that are protected by government laws. Organizations like the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) and the United Nations (UN) want to end these kinds of crimes, so they promote the
day by asking people to:
 Back a ranger - donate money to help rangers who protect endangered animals get equipment and training they need to stop wildlife crime.
Sign pledges urging governments to strengthen their laws to stop wildlife crime.
What's Open or Closed?
World Wildlife Day is a global observance and not a public holiday so it's business as usual.
About World Wildlife Day
Wildlife trade is one of the most profitable illicit trades in the world, estimated at up to $10 billion annually. Illegal wildlife trade of elephant ivory, rhino horns, and tiger products, is widespread in many countries, particularly in Asia and Africa. It is controlled by dangerous crime
syndicates that traffic wildlife like drugs or weapons.
On December 20, 2013, the UN added World Wildlife Day to its calendar as an official event to
be celebrated from March 3, 2014, onwards. It declared the day out of concern that wildlife
crime had negative economic, environmental and social impacts worldwide.

The two birthstones for March are aquamarine and bloodstone.
Aquamarine
The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina,
meaning the sea. This gemstone was believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe
voyage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. Its pale, cool color beautifully complements spring and summer
wardrobes. Aquamarine is most often light in tone and ranges from greenish blue to bluegreen; the color usually is more intense in larger stones. This gemstone is mined mainly in Brazil, but also is found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan, and Mozambique.

Bloodstone The second birthstone for March is bloodstone, a dark-green jasper flecked with
vivid red spots of iron oxide. This ancient stone was used by the Babylonians to make seals and
amulets and was believed to have healing powers — especially for blood disorders. It is sometimes called the martyr's stone as legend tells that it was created when drops of Christ's blood
stained some jasper at the foot of the cross. Generally found embedded in rocks or in riverbeds
as pebbles, primary sources for this stone are India, Brazil, and Australia. - See more at: http://
