April is…

A new calendar page:
crazy weather:
“The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you’re two months back in the middle of March.”
– Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
It was just days ago that these were under 12″ of snow!
spring cleaning and DIY projects:
flowers on my desk at work from spring gardens:
birthdays:
New spring dresses:
April is Laurence Olivier month on TCM. His movies are featured every Wednesday this month.
Set your DVR tomorrow for Sleuth (1972), A Little Romance (1979) and Clash of the Titans (1981).
And, of course, April is this:
Hope your April is off to a good start!

Great post! And doesn’t Laurence have a dandy mustache? For me, April means grading, grading, grading…but then I’ll be done with it until fall! Yay.I wish I could be there to celebrate YOUR birthday.
Moi aussi, m’dear.
Supes post, mother dearest!!
Spot on! The Robert Frost poem was one of Richard Ruland’s favorites; Meghan and I were reminiscing about it when I was in Boston. I am about to go shopping for a birthday dress, so you are on point there as well.
“April is the cruelest month” always floats through my mind the first few days of the month, but this year I am happy happy happy. This is the best month, evahh!
Knock on wood! 🙂
