Flowering Crabapple, April 14, 2010 The Arboretum, Seattle
Hello, dear April!
A joyful embrace to
your mercurial ways
and kaleidoscope days
Shall we dance
under pink-laced trees
and rainbow showers,
and laugh at nothing in particular?
And if I ask, ever so nicely,
would you stay
just a bit longer this time?
Hello, dear April!
Your bring riches beyond measure.

Mademoiselle Poirot says
Ah yes, April… April has decided to throw some weird weather patterns our way, it seems a strangely unreliable month when it comes to seasonal weather. Your photo definitely shows the best April has to offer ;-)
When am I off to France again? Good question! Seeing that it's not really that far away, I'm still not making it over as often as I'd like. Hopefully sometime this summer. Have a lovely day xo

Hi Georgianna,
What a lovely photo and poem! I wish our crabapples were flowering too, but I still have to wait another couple of weeks. :( But what a wonderful way to remind me of what is still to come! Thank you!

Lovely photo G! So much going on right now…I should be moving up in May. Will get caught up with you soon. Take care.

Your little poem is so perfect for April. :)
May I say? this photo would not be perfection without the mossy
branch that you included in the frame. "Sigh." Always such a
heavenly treat to visit you here, Georgianna. :)
