April Showers

April showers… so welcomed when our winter's gone and done. Snow dissolved into the ground to now await the springtime sun. Trees lift up dry resting limbs, wait for water to awake their dormant curled up buds... thirst-quenching gift they take. April showers bring new flowers sustenance to help them grow; hydrated soil, nutrients seep into their new life flow. Before our eyes blooms unfold… their lovely scene! April showers majestically fulfill spring's dream. Sandra M. Haight ~2nd Place~ Contest: Anacreontic Verse 3 Sponsor: Edward Ebbs Theme: April Showers May Bring Flowers Judged: 04/27/2016

Thank you, BW, for the nice comment and 7. I appreciate it so much. Here is southern NY we had snow and freezing temps on Sunday and Monday, after having temps in the 70's the week before and no snow the entire winter. So many of the early blooms have been poorly affected. Thanks again, Sandra

Thank you very much, Daniel. We had snow Sunday and Monday with temps in the 20's after enjoying a very mild winter! The poor blooms have suffered! Sandra
