"And as I pondered, my mind raced back to other springs in other places across this broad country to recall for a moment the rejoicing of their sights and sounds. The first to mind was boyhood on the Prairies with a springtime trip to the farm behind the barn on an uncle's place near Boharm, Sask. I heard the first call of the meadow lark....it was there I learned to mimic the lark's call which I still remember sounds something like,
I was here a year ago."
