Heard a grocery store put up a chalkboard sign with a drawing of a computer screen downloading a program. The program was Spring, and the download failed. The prompt said, "Sorry, Spring is not available in your area yet."Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-46759617472520178492016-05-02T13:56:57.545-05:002016-05-02T13:56:57.545-05:00I'm sorry April has been so difficult for your...I'm sorry April has been so difficult for your family, Sue. I hope everyone is recovering now and that life will settle down. We had a fairly warm and dry winter but I think April made up for it by being cold and wet. Actually, yesterday (May 1) was one of the coldest days we've had in weeks. Today is a little nicer, thankfully. I hope you have a good week ahead, Sue.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-25314861166336898562016-05-02T10:29:24.522-05:002016-05-02T10:29:24.522-05:00A tough April indeed.

It's cooled off a little now. But the days are still warm and sunny and everything has greened up beautifully. Lilac is out, and the pollen is in the air. Aaaah Spring.

I pray they continue to heal rapidly and completely! In the midst of your hard times I am glad you were able to ride a bit. Thanks for the lovely photos. I have yet to crochet a sock, but I have saved several patterns to try. It seems mean of me to tell you that our April has been unusually warm encouraging flowers to bloom early...but you did ask me to tell you how my April was in Boring, Oregon. I just posted photos of the ducks and ducklings on our pond, and a Wood Duck snoozing on a low branch. I did not know ducks could do that!
