Well, in a few hours and I doubt it will make a lot of changes here overnight. But I had to go to the bank this morning and I've gotten where I take the camera with me wherever I go because I never know what I might stumble on that would require me taking a photo. Anyway, as I got out of the car I realized the sky had turned blue and the flowering trees lining the parking lot were this fragile pink and it had happened almost overnight. It didn't last long, the wind blew the clouds back across the sky and it was soon raining -- again. I'm glad I got this to remind me to have faith!

Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly--and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
Omar Khayyam
April
The roofs are shining from the rain,
The sparrows twitter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
The little clouds go by.
Yet the back yards are bare and brown
With only one unchanging tree--
I could not be so sure of Spring
Save that it sings in me.
Sara Teasdale
