FIRST DAY OF APRIL

" April rain is here again;
Hear it pitter, pitter, patter,
On the leaves and on the trees,
See it spitter, spitter, spatter.
Rain, oh rain, don't go away
We need you for flow'rs in May;
Drip, drip, drop and do not stop,
Send a little rain our way."
~Nina B. Hartford~

"The first of April, some do say, is
set apart for All Fools' Day. But why
the people call it so, nor I nor they
themselves do know. But on the day
are people sent on purpose for pure
merriment."
~Poor Robin's Almanac, 1790~
