I am guessing that many of you receive phone calls, view emails or read posts from those living in other states who want to continually tell you how nice the weather is there, rubbing it in, of sorts. What they seem to fail to understand is that, if we wanted to live in a pile of sand, we would move to a pile of sand. Most of us prefer to live here with the change of seasons, and we are not alone. See if you agree with these musical artists and me. In the words of Eddie Rabbitt, I love a rainy night. From John Denver, sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Out of the mouths of the Mamas and The Papas, all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray. And as Frank Sinatra sang, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
April is clearly a transition month, from a time when the winter snow melts and uncovers nature's and human debris to a period of new life, growth and a remarkable cleansing. This is abundantly apparent with farmers preparing their fields for planting, with the Christian celebration of Easter, and with people from all walks of life deciding to so some “spring cleaning.”
So remember to enjoy all that Mother Nature brings us, and be sure to sing along to the words of Terry Jacks, “We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun!"
Have a wonderful Wednesday, and, as always, thanks for reading.
