Happy April!

Happy April everyone! I have a couple pictures and a poem to start out this new month. 

Recently I went on a search for some greenery. While everything is mostly still brown I did find this bright green moss in the backyard.

Bark from the pear trees. 

Here is a poem about April I thought you might enjoy.

  April's Charms by William Henry Davies

When April scatters charms of primrose gold 

Among the copper leaves in thickets old, 

And singing skylarks from the meadows rise, 

To twinkle like black stars in sunny skies;

When I can hear the small woodpecker ring 

Time on a tree for all the birds that sing; 

And hear the pleasant cuckoo, loud and long -- 

The simple bird that thinks two notes a song;

When I can hear the woodland brook, that could 

Not drown a babe, with all his threatening mood; 

Upon these banks the violets make their home, 

And let a few small strawberry vlossoms come:

When I go forth on such a pleasant day, 

One breath outdoors takes all my cares away; 

It goes like heavy smoke, when flames take hold 

Of wood that's green and fill a grate with gold.

Have a great rest of the day!
