Day 6 - 91 -- April Fool

April has arrived complete with April showers overnight and through the morning. It felt cool with the winds, heavy cloud and humidity, then the temperature dropped close to freezing by supper time. Forecasters suggest another day of heavy rain in mid-week and the rain-snow mixes by the end of the week. Spring is in full swing -- swinging temperatures and precipitation types. Even with the sunny days in between rain events, it isn't to be really warm.

Someone asked if they should put away the winter outerwear last week. Really? <smile>  My shovels remain at the back door until the last frost in April or May. No need to tempt fate. Even with the 'April Fool' concept present this morning, the weather really was chilly, despite the numbers being above the freezing point. I love enthusiasm and excitement, but it just won't be sunbathing weather for a while, so chill (so to speak <grin>). I'm looking forward to watching the small daily changes as things begin to turn green again and then the early blooms appear. I like the soft spring rain like we had today. The next one looks like heavier rain with an inch or so during the day. That makes puddles and there is enough mud in the front area where things drain slowly all year.

A song lyric made me smirk today so it had to be shared. The singer has a pleasant gravel tinge to his voice. Enjoy!
