April showers bring May flowers.
It’s been pouring since last night, and this morning a few white snowflakes have mixed in, and the blue and yellow flowers in our front yard, freshly planted by my wife, have been eaten by rabbits.
It’s one of those days where you just want to finish your coffee in the shadow of your kitchen and then climb back into bed, and hope to fall asleep, again listening to the rain on the roof and gutters, and the flowers and the rabbits and the white snowflakes of spring.
