APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS AND LOTS OF FAMILY BIRTHDAYS

 April with its tenuous spring weather. Cool then warmer then cool again. Maybe some snow flurries. Maybe some rain.

Days are longer which makes the mood a happier one. The light and sunshine are good for the soul.

Our family has several family birthday celebrations. So an opportunity for cake.

My garden is starting to show some colour. 

Those snowdrops with their white on the brown.

The crocuses in many colours.



The tulips are starting to pop up with the leaves first. Flowers come in May.

So seeing the world of spring blooming slowly and methodically.

Of course the song birds are singing. My Robins are back. One looks as if she may be pregnant.

So will keep an eye for any nests with little birdies.

April reminds us that nature is very alluring. Just to be outside.

How is your April so far??

APRIL CELEBRATIONS

Each month brings a celebration of some sort. There is a death so the service is the celebration of the person's life. Remembering those who left us and celebrating the memories of that beloved person or people. Birthdays with cake and balloons and presents are the most fun. Then a scheduled baptism coming up to bring a young baby into Christian faith. Dance competitions to celebrate the little dancer who practised and practised to be part of the group. This year even trying a solo, building the confidence of a young dancer who tries to overcome shyness! Hockey tournaments and little trophies! Celebrating the number of goals!  April with its mix of winter weather lingering and hopes the warm weather will return. A month of memories! A month to create memories! Time for Spring cleaning! Time to find new meaning in life! Time to revisit old meaning in life! What to bring back into life! A spring walk or jog or bike ride! Just being and celebrating whatever can be done in a day! Oh April the beginning of those long Spring and Summer months even with the white glitches!!
