April is the month where I am delighted when it rains.
“April Showers Bring May Flowers”

“April Showers Bring May Flowers”
You may not know this but the origin of this rhyme was a poem.
Well, in 1557 a gentleman named Thomas Tusser
assembled a collection of writings he called
A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry.
In the section of April Husbandry he wrote:
Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers.
Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers.
What’s the meaning behind this rhyme?
It is a reminder that April rain can bring unpleasant weather
but it results in splendid things …
in this case an abundance of flowers in May.
April rain provides us an optimistic outlook and attitude.
It surely allows us to appreciate more of the many
wonderful things future months will hold.

I guess that's good to remember, Sugar. We Shar Pei do not care for rain and will hold it in for hours and hours rather than go out to pee in rain. On the other paw – we do like flowers. They make excellent sniffing.
wags, Lola
Yes indeed! We don't much care for the rain but we do need it for the flowers.
Sugar, you are such a beautiful Golden!

Hi Sugar
We love a nice warm rain. Everything smells so good.
Love Ruby & Penny
Rain doesn't bother me and I love to smell flowers!

Those April showers also help reduce your fire danger right? All sorts of good things come from them.
It's snowing here – and that is our form of "April showers"!
Hey Sugar,
Thats cool that you know that and passed it in to us. I have heard mom say that and I do like to sniff the flowers, 🙂 Have a nice rainy Chicago day, mom and I will have to walk fast in this rain.

Spring is my favorite season Sugar. I'll take the rain because May will be warm and beautiful.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
As always, thanks for the positive thoughts that we start our day with. Who says too much Sugar is not good for you?

I don't mind the showers so much it's the torrential downpours that get me
557? I'll have to ask my mom if she knows that guy – I think that's when she was born. HA roo roo roo! Just kidding!
That's really cool to know, Sugar! (Sorry I wrote Sammie the first time – my brain got ahead of me!)! We don't mind the rain one bit – and you're right – good things are yet to come!
Play bows,
Zim

We're supposed to get some April showers tomorrow, Sugar! We sure do love those May flowers!

And you are just a ray of sunshine!
May flowers rock! We are enjoying a raining week too 🙂
That's really good to remember Sugar although around here it's not just April rains but December through April rains!
You look very cheery today and made us smile!
We get April showers, and May showers, and most of the time June showers too 🙁
But WOW the flowers are gorgeous in July! 🙂
Kisses,
Emma Rose
Hey there sweet Sugar!
That was a Northern Hemisphere poet…right!? We're having showers here now, but I don't think they'll bring on the beautiful daffodils!
By the way…you look very sweet impersonating those pretty flowers!

Hi ya Sugar!!! Nice to see you with your spring look!
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,
Sierra Rose
We truly believe that is so true. The grass needs the rain too and the leaves on the trees. Hope you get rain soon. Have a great day Sugar.
I wish it was spring here – I'm about to have six months of showers before spring flowers!
Woofs, Riley
That's a great thing to remember,Sugar, especially for those of us living in the world of tornadoes. And with all the showers we have had so far, we are already seeing lots of beautiful flowers.
Woos- Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
Sugar, we'll gladly swap you some of our torrential April showers for a little sunshine and flowers 🙂
I'd like it better if it only rained at night! 🙂
I think in AZ it is "March Showers bring April flowers!" I love what you are wearing!
