Spring: A device made of an elastic material that when deflected returns to its original shape.
Spring: A fissure in the dirt or rock through which ground water seeps or flows to the surface.
Spring: To leap up or forward in a rapid, unexpected fashion.
Spring: The period from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice. The period when most people start looking forward to warm weather, but WE wander around worrying about when the next huge snowstorm will hit.
Maybe they call it spring because snow leaps at us in an unexpected fashion, the weather snaps back to sunny, and water pours out of the mud.
Happy "Waiting for the Other Shoe To Drop" season!
