April Haiku

shards of rain and hail pounding on the soaking grass... april tempest blows swollen river beds fields of winter turning green... peeking through the mud showers feed the lawns tender shoots that spring up strong... flowers on the way

Deb, how true this is...Just few days ago golf size hail ripped into homes smashing siding and auto windshields with flooding in all the streets and still no electricity for many! We do look forward to your "Flowers on the way" with much anticipation.....Judy
