Springtime brings to mind the springing of new life following the sterile stretch of winter\u2014flowers springing up from the earth, little bunnies and lambs springing around, and, in a more modern sense, the clock springing ahead (to the delight of no one). As it turns out, the meaning of spring the season probably isn\u2019t any more arcane than the ancient, seasonal associations of nature in action. Somewhere in the 14th century, \u201cspringing time\u201d replaced the Old English \u201clent\u201d as a more literal and secular brand for the season\u2014not surprising in the midst of Renaissance humanism. \u201cSpringing time\u201d soon became just \u201cspringing,\u201d then simply \u201cspring.\u201d And let\u2019s just be thankful that the names of the seasons don\u2019t continue to evolve with the times, or we might be enjoying \u201ctax-and-allergy time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/can-can-herb-markers-set-of-4?source=UK_spring\" target=\"_blank\">Can-Can Herb Markers &#8211; Set of 4, $32<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s just be thankful that the names of the seasons don\u2019t continue to evolve with the times, or we might be enjoying \u201ctax-and-allergy time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":36449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36428"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36428"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36451,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36428\/revisions\/36451"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
