COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
APRIL
Showers of rain
Bring April storms
In magical beauty
As April Showers
Pidder padder
To bring May flowers
As life gives birth
Breaks of laughter
Echo in the air
Children search
Puddles to jump
As ducks waddle in play
Life is full of
Laughter & Blooms
~BETH~
April 8~ Good morning! Monday Monday! Wet damp cold Monday. I must live in the PNW! We have the liquid sunshine.....or is that teardrops from heaven? It would be so pleasant to just roll over pull the blankets up over my head and listen to the rain lull me back to sleep. Oh well! If I did that then I would miss out on all the simply beautiful things in this day in my life. Arise and shine Beth! There is coffee! Today's blessings added up quickly as they usually do.
