The Next Day

Yesterday continued the spring clean up and a little bit of here and there work out back. Last night we got a nice steady rain. It has stopped now and the sun is trying to come out. This is what April is about on Long Island. April showers bring May flowers. 

Of course we have had flowers for 2 months now. The crocuses are finished, the daffodils are beginning to wrap up their show and the tulips have just begun. The forsythia is now in full bloom along with many beautiful flowering trees.

The rain watered the earth, topped off the fish pond and cleared the air. As temperatures rise throughout the afternoon things will grow. God's amazing creation right in my own backyard is wonderful!
