Spring Dreams

Watercolors by Sally Della Wickham

April is the month to dream:  in Vermont we dream about sunny days, baby birds hatching, flowers beginning to bloom.  Sometimes the  April showers that bring May flowers  are not rain, but snow.  We call that  "Poor Man's Fertilizer" because  when the snow melts, the  straw-colored fields transform  to bright green and  it is truly manna from heaven that has enriched the soil.    LRL
