A sign of the times

I'm pretty sure I saw a man building an ark today.  Well, ok, maybe he was patching a canoe, but it still looked kind of ominous.  I know that April showers are supposed to bring May flowers and I must say the Lilac bushes in front of my building look beautiful and smell good too.  So far it seems that May showers bring tornados.  The Indian legend about tornados never touching down where the three rivers come together seems to be holding true.  It makes me glad I live close to one of the rivers.  I do wonder about old legends.  I think those ancients had lots of time to observe the weather (no cell phones so what else did they have to do?).   Maybe they watched tornados roaring across the plains (although around here there were lots of trees in the way) and swerving away from the rivers. Whatever.  I will continue to hope that those ancients knew what they were talking about,
