The rain poured today. The wind pounded the droplets against the window as it came down.  The pattering of water could be heard throughout the house with the gust of wind howling by.  And just when I think the sun will never come, the clouds break and the light dances across the rain-covered lawn.  I look in the distance and see the shimmer of the lake glistening with sunlight.  April is on its way out and we make way for the joys of May.  I delight in the old saying that April showers bring May flowers.  And greens, April showers bring more greens to the table.  As May approaches the hope and ..read more
