Last Day of April

Sherlyn's Creation

Sherlyn picked these blossoms from her yard so she gets credit for the beautiful contribution. We have heard that April showers bring May flowers and that has certainly proven true this year. The Redbuds and Dogwoods are more beautiful than I can remember their ever being. Their blooms are quickly being replaced with green leaves, however. Our Bradford Pear Blooms are long gone and our trees are fully leafed out now. Some other trees are still struggling because of our much too cold temps, especially at night.

We have sunshine today with a strong wind and 70º temp. I like the temp but not the wind!!! We may have gusts up to 40 miles per hour.

Well, today is the last day of April. Tomorrow will be May Day. I remember when I was in High School how we would wind the May Pole. It was a neat celebration. We have a very busy schedule for May this year. It seems the entire Summer months are already scheduled. The Summer will pass quickly as a result but we have a lot of pleasant occasions to look forward to. Some of those occasions will be celebrating birthdays for some very special people. I will list them today as one comes on May 3rd.

May Birthdays:

Miss Madison..........................May 3rd

Mr. Conner.............................May 6th

Darla......................................May 19th

Mr. Marshal............................May 30th

I wish a Happy Birthday for each of these with many, many more to follow.

Thought for the day: "Do you think it would be wrong for me to learn the noble art of self-defence?" a religiouly inclined young man inqired of his pastor."Certainly not," answerd the minister, "I learned it in youth myself and I have found it of great value during my life."

"Indeed, sir! Did you learn the Old English system or Sullivan's system?" "Neither, I learned Solomon's system." "Solomon's system?" asked the young man. "Yes, you will find it laid down in the first verse of the fifteenth chapter of Proverbs: 'A soft answer turneth away wrath'. It is the best system of self-defense I know" replied the minister. The most glorious victory over an enemy is to turn him into a friend. Try it!!!!
