Blue sky after an April Shower.

The warm, sunny weather last Saturday made the buds on the trees and in the garden burst open like popcorn. Flowers and leaves were popping out everywhere adding spots of color around our yard. The bees were buzzing about, birds were singing their happy songs and the smell of freshly cut grass and BBQ's filled the air. But spring weather is finicky and ever changing. Now after a brief day of sunshine it's back to April Showers, patches of blue sky among the clouds and sporadic glimpses of sun now and then but the grass is getting greener and the flowers are filling in. It won't be long and the clouds will be gone and the sun will be back, 
at least for a day or two!

  2. Jen: your subject matter and description of the surrounding environment is very good. Your focus on the small stuff that makes up the large stuff is very interesting. You are what we call a 'wordmeister'. DAD
