28 April 2008

April and May

April cold with dropping rain
Willows and lilacs brings again,
The whistle of returning birds,
And the trumpet-lowing of the heards.
The scarlet maple-keys betray
What potent blood hath modest May,
What fierce force the earth tenews.
The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
What joy in rosy waves outpoured
flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had been noticing that all of the trees had little buds on them. It has been raining all day today and tonight when I returned home all the trees had leaves on them. It is aas if the buds had all exploded.
