joy of Spring....the awws' of April

The month of April has always been a fave of mine...I love the name...April....sounds very fresh and lovely...April always makes me think of flowers, the smell of rain and warmer days to come. April is also the month, a very special person in my life, my Father was born...I have always associated April with joy & happy moments, because of my Father's loving & kind spirit....and also my family's celebration of Easter.  Living in southern Cali, we are blessed to have a very long Spring each year...April & May being the most brilliant months with beautiful skies, blooming flowers & trees and gorgeous green grass. I love the quote from...Byron Caldwell Smith...."Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers" and the quote from Shakespeare, "April hath put a spirit of youth into everything."
For me, the month of April, never disappoints....April always renews my spirit, promises & delivers the beautiful days before summer's warmth comes each year.

Sharing with you my joys of April...
