April showers, April flowers. In April, the trees, plants, and rose bulbs are blooming. More birds are singing new songs, more squirrels are searching for nuts. April is when spring starts.
This year, the cherry blossoms arrived early. There are more tourists. The days are lighter and longer. April brings food trucks and ice cream trucks, museum visits, kite flying, and sitting in the park enjoying the sunshine. There are no more coats, just jackets. We are spring cleaning, shopping, eating out more, and just enjoying the nice weather each day.
This will be my first spring and Easter without my mom. I am still grieving her loss. She is very missed.
