April’s Rules Let me let you in on this A simple April’s rule, Do not fold winter’s clothes away, Or be ye yet the Fool! Perhaps it’s Kansas at its best A ballerina in frilly tulle… Do not think that leaves on trees Means summer’s here, oh Fool! In the 90’s yesterday, summer's sweet sun! A day of glory, glitter crowning jewel! Now where oh where did it run? As we face yet winter’s rule! April is the month of jokes, yes, now April’s Rule…. As I stand in shorts, brief tank top, winter’s April Fool.  [This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-04-2003 03:19 PM).] |

I found Sudhir's reply so charming: "April rules!" Now, back to your light-hearted poem about capricious Mother Nature!--Yes, indeed! She's pulled an April fools joke on us! We are ice-stormed in! Schools are closed! Everybody is hibernating! The buds on the trees are frozen--and so am I! Cold hugs (Sorry, but there is no warmth left in this body to send warm ones!) Linda |

Ahhh how true Karilea ~ Simply beautiful just a couple of days ago ~ Today, an ice storm that is unbelievable ~ I'm a lucky one, I still have power, uh, at least for now. Love this ~ Bonnie |

ROFLMAO @ Toe... and I've been blaming this coughing and hacking on allergies... but maybe it's the 80 degrees, then 30, then 80 routine instead? LOL Enjoyed this, Sunshine! *S* |

Wow, Karilea, that is so true. I never thought of it that way (I can't believe it's April already) Life may be hard, but it's your attitude that determines your happieness |

Oh Sunshine, I know how you feel. I am from St. Louis. Beautiful, 80 degree weather this past week, and now, 30's and rain today. I am ready for spring. Maybe, just maybe, April will be more cooperative from here on out. [This message has been edited by Patricia (04-06-2003 06:31 PM).] |

Oh yes! Oklahoma is just like that. I don't dare put my winter things up just yet. It was pretty nice today. But, who knows what tomorrow might be. |

hehe, it's the same thing here in MN! Last April, it got up to the 90's one week, and it snowed the next! This year it has not gotten past the 40s so far. Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess. lol  ~Liz Waited on a line of greens and blues, just to be the next to be with you.. |
