The sun was warm but the wind was chill
You know how it is with an April day..
When the sun is out and the wind is still
You're one month on in the middle of May.
Robert Frost
We aren't far enough along into April
for the spring blossoms to be out,
but up in the hills there are buttercups
and small white daisies..
and you know that if the buttercups have arrived
they bring robins with them
and soon there will be lilacs
and daffodils and tulips
and the bridal bush will be glorious with its
pure white flowers.
Today was not April's most charming....
A chilly wind and a dull sky
that deterred me from taking Bruce out for a walk,
down the lane.....where we probably
wouldn't meet anybody and have to stand six feet away
to talk to them.
I hope that warmth comes soon
as I understand Covid19 doesn't care
to be around when the weather is hot!!
It gets quite lonely when you
can't have someone in for tea!
Well, I have a great mess of blue bamboo yarn
to untangle in the morning,
when I have a good hold on my patience.......
And when it is done I will have a lovely
blue and yellow warp to put on the LeClerc,
and that should make me feel quite comfortable
about accomplishing something
besides doing the breakfast dishes!!!
Perhaps the sun will shine, too.....

and the forsythia will forsake the bathtub
and brighten up the rest of the house
with its golden blooms

Stay safe xx
I'm not sure about Covid 19's dislike of warm weather; it seems to be doing OK in India, but we live in hope that it might just vanish! Spring-like weather here too.
Here in Pennsylvania the forsythias are just about over, daffodils and hyacinths are at their prime. I brought some in the other day and the house smells like Easter! The grass is full of violets. Those are the things we can always depend upon! Stay safe and well.
