April Showers


Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers
Thomas Tusser


In the spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love
Alfred, Lord Tennyson


The first day of spring is one thing, and the first
spring day is another. The difference between them is
sometimes as great as a month
Henry Van Dyke


The month of May was come,
when every lusty heart beginneth
to blossom, and to bring forth fruit;
for like as herbs and trees bring
forth fruit and flourish in May,
in likewise every lusty heart
that is in any manner a lover,
springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds.
For it giveth unto all lovers courage,
that lusty month of May.
Sir Thomas Malory

Running naked thru the wildflowers. That is a lot like my just ended naked 3-day weekend in the woods east of Austin, TX. My first of several naked weekends outside this year. Pure heaven.
