Slideshow: This Month at Bates
A little snow must fall every winter. And that’s what we’ve gotten so far this winter: a little. The seasons behave as they will, something Pete Seeger knew when he turned to the book of Ecclesiastes to write “Turn, Turn, Turn.”
“There is a season — turn, turn, turn — and a time to every purpose under heaven,” he wrote, “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
This has been our January.
