Friday and some more rain

We've had a good amount of rain- it is too bad not to be able to store it up as clean water for later - wait - that's called a pond - and we have huge puddles but no pond! Now there's an idea that would help a lot in the northern part of our woods!
Hope you have some sunshine where you are!!

April showers....

Growing up we were taught that April Showers brought mayflowers - but since our mom was a direct descendant of the folks on the BOAT also known as "The Mayflower "- were grew up knowing that April showers was not only botanical in nature.
Our back and side woods is filled with those tiny pink blossoms all over the ground that are one of the first to appear after the last snow. There are daffodils and hyacinths - and those lilac bushes are going to pop in about three weeks! Welcome back Mayflowers!
