 April is one of my least favorite months. I don’t care for the yo yo in temperature, the massive amounts of rain or stepping outside to see Lake Diiulio in our front yard growing even bigger.

April shower might bring May flowers, but it also brings mud and lots of worms on my driveway. Sooooooo many worms. So many worms that it SMELLS like worms outside. Yuck. Why do I know what worms smell like?

At least we have had impressive lightening shows and good cracks of thunder to enjoy. I have been enjoying watching my flowers growing. Don’t get me wrong! April is still terrible.

I have decided that my favorite jelly beans are the Nerd jelly beans. I bought a bag on clearance. Only one bag this year because I am trying to make somewhat mature choices. I really just LOVE jelly beans.

I went down and saw my Mom today. She is a trooper. Her eye is scratchy and watering and healing well! Yay! Her other eye is bloodshot and bruised too. I got to see her battle wounds and thy were impressive.

I let the dogs out this evening. I stood on the porch with my eyes closed. The frogs were singing loudly. The air was comfortable but smelled like dirty worms. I really like to hear the frogs. They just remind me that summer is coming. It is a familiar and comfortable sound.

I was able to make another appointment for Ethan with the kidney doctor! She is allowing another video visit during Ethan’s lunch hour. Perfect! That helps so much.

Ethan has made his firework order and goes to pick those up this weekend. He has quite a show planned! I am glad he is looking forward to it. I hope the weather is just right!
