Sunday Quotes.... Happy April

"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 come over the sunlit arch,

And wind comes off a frozen peak,

And you're two months back in the middle of March"

Robert Frost

Sunday Quotes....Sunny...warmer

FRIENDS,
We are so thankful for friends, many of whom we've never met, but who share with us as if we'd seen each others' smiles. We've come to know each other online, and words from this community help us through each day. 
We hope you've enjoyed our month of Quotes and Max Coots thoughts on friendship, and his wonderful comparisons to gardens.
(see previous weeks quotes HERE )

Here's the last of the quotes, and to me the most important!
 

Let us give thanks for children who are our second planting, and though they grow like weeds,

and the wind too soon blows them away,

may they forgive us our cultivation

and fondly remember where their roots are.
