It was my understanding that April Fools Day is a one-day event but evidently Mother Nature didn't get the memo. I will admit I did enjoy the sunshine today, not the temperature, just the sunshine. But, in a typical 'rubbing salt in the wound' sort of move, I was hit with an interesting bit of poetry yesterday morning. I really like page-a-day calendars and I was given one for Christmas based on the"Old Farmer's Almanac". Every day there is some folksy bit of information. Today for example I was told to smack a baking tray of cookies on the counter after they come out of the oven. This will drive some air out of the cookies and make them chewy. Who knew? The piece that left me cold was this poem:
"Winter's done and April's in the skies,
Earth look up with laughter in your eyes!"
by Sir Charles G. D. Roberts, a Canadian author who lived from 1860-1943. Evidently when he looked up he didn't get a faceful of snow and icy wind.
Ah well, I keep telling myself that April snow showers may bring May or June or July flowers.
