This will probably be an easy one too. I'm going to use the title of another song as a clue - THE SNOWS OF YESTERYEAR..

Johnny Mathis sings a song called "Saturday Sunshine" which would fit the clue--and the weather at the moment--but I know it is not that, so I shall start by trying

I was thinking Rain Sometimes, but sometimes isn't the opposite of yesteryear.

Good Morning everyone!
Yes, Lena and Harry, I'm happy to say you are correct.. We mostly have snow in Winter, so "Spring" being the opposite to snowy winter, and Yesteryear being some time ago, and "is Here" meaning here and now.. :lol: :lol:
Your turn again Lena and Harry.. :wink:

Is it "A Lot of Living To Do" L&H :?:

Marian, I thought the opposite of "snowy winter" is "warm summer".....................................not "spring", as spring is next to winter. Also, it often snows a lot in the spring :wink: :wink:

Okay Robert, I bow to your superior knowledge! Anyway, Lena and Harry managed to get it right. :wink: :wink: I was just really thinking of a contrast in the weather..between Springtime and snowy weather. My clue wasn't winter, it was snow. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Marian :lol:

Yes Marian, you are correct with "Start Living" and Robert, we're surprised at you, :shock: we note your comments on "Spring Is Here" and thought that by now you would have come up with a spectacular antonym that will keep us puzzled and frustrated for weeks, and knock everyone's socks off.

Is it "How Soon" Marian :?: I will try to give a hard clue L&H, if only I can come up with the right answer first, so that I can have a go :wink: :lol: if "How Soon" is correct ?? then I will get my chance.
