In an annual rite of passage, the Apples today toast the calender and welcome Springtime back to all.

The Apple proclamation, made following this past weekends record setting snowfall in the Northeastern U.S. was received by many with the normal confusion and questions that often follow any Apple off the field statements of opinion.

"I don't know what that guy is thinking, but it sounds to me like he is going nuts" said Chris Bernitt of Roanoke, VA. when asked to comment on his Uncle, AGFHOF Don Bernitt's comments. "I just got done shoveling 24 inches of snow off the driveway, while the Apples sit down in snow free Tennessee talking about Springtime. I don't get it" concluded the worn out Virginian.

"Springtime? Springtime? are you kidding me? Springtime?" added Matty Oliver of Newark DE when he first read the Apple declaration. "I just got kicked in the face playing football in over 2 feet of snow and the Apples are saying it's Springtime?" "I gave up trying to figure those guys out a long time ago" added Oliver before heading back out for the second half of Snow Bowl 2009

"I have to agree with my cousins, I'm worried about my Uncle's state of mind" said Potomac MD high school senior Jeremy Bernitt when contacted for comment on the Apple press release." "We have people who shovel our snow for us and it looks like they are working awful hard out there" added Jeremy as he unpacked his travel bags after his weekend trip to the Titans - Dolphins game was cancelled due to the 27 inches of snow that fell in the Washington DC suburbs.

As is often the case with the Apples, further investigation into their thought processes has shed just enough insight for several to agree with today's Springtime celebration. "I like the way they think" said Lauren Litwack of Parkton, MD as she learned the details behind the Apples welcoming of Spring.

"Today, Dec. 21st is the shortest day off sunlight of the year" said Lauren as she took a break from Facebook posting to talk about the Apples. "Most people say it's the first day of Winter, but if you think about it, beginning tomorrow the days start getting longer again, so maybe my Uncle is on to something when he says we should look at it as the beginning of Spring." "I know my Puffins like Springtime better, so I'm joining the Apples and welcoming Spring back" concluded Lauren as she set off to ride her sled down the snow covered hill in her back yard.

And so it goes, to most "normal" people, today is the first day of Winter. However, to the Apples, it's the first day of Spring. "I'll tell you what" said Don Bernitt when asked to comment about today's Apple tid bits, when you're driving home today or tomorrow, or just sitting around getting ready for Christmas, look around and you will say, "hey did you notice that it's staying lighter later each evening now"

Think Spring and........How bout them Apples!
