"Her laughter sounded like April showers,
liked whispered secrets,
like glass wind-chimes."
Rebecca McNutt
With the arrival of April, one begins to open windows; survey plants, and gardens; and linger in the outdoor markets displaying budding plants We begin to imagine how we will adorn our porches and window sills.
In April, we begin to linger out doors a little longer and become aware of the flight and song of the birds. We might hear the laughter of children playing and the dangling movement of wind chimes. New fragrances beckon us out of our winter daze.
April showers cleanse, nurture and invite memories to return. To sit on a porch, listening to the rhythm of rain drops falling, is somehow comforting and encouraging. Thoughts become lighter and perspective broadens and we are not as reluctant to face the unfolding of life.
