While the dogs are wrestling playfully (and quite vocally) on their bed next to me, I stand looking through the window as the gentle drizzle splashes upon the panes.
Showers. Hey, its April. April showers.
Who can forget the words as sung by Al Jolson,
When April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So when it's raining have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain you know
It's raining violets
And when you see clouds up on a hill
You know they'll bring crowds of daffodils
So just keep looking for a bluebird
And listening for his song…
It was based on the 1921 song in the Broadway musical Bombo, and subsequently they made a movie based on the 1999 Columbine High School massacre with the same title.
On a more literal note, I wonder whether or not there will be April showers in Reikorangi this month. After all, we are half-way through our Autumn (Fall) and the parched earth has started to complain about being dry and brown. On checking our rain-gauge data for April, as below, one can see that the first week was bone dry and the second has produced a paltry 22mm over 6 days
I wonder whether we will be getting the weather, or not? Accuweather forecasts:
