April is a cruel month.
The month that doesn’t know if it’s winter or spring. One day warm and sunny, the next day cold and
snowy. A month of indecision. A month that Mother Nature plays with, taunts
with hints of the coming spring, then brings back reminders of the winter we’d so
much like to forget.
April keeps us
northern folks humble and thankful for that occasional day when the temperature
hits 60 and maybe even a little more.
April keeps us looking ahead.
The changes are coming.
The robins have been here for a while, singing their hearts out. The cardinals have been whistling, and the
sandhill cranes are calling—and yes, the wild turkeys are gobbling, searching
for mates, not waiting for the weather to calm down and be pleasant.
The spring flowers, the tulips and the daffodils, are poking
their heads into April, not too sure how fast they should grow. Waiting like the rest of us for warmer days
and spring temperatures.
THE OLD TIMER SAYS: Enough already for winter. Let’s get on with spring.
