April Showers Bring May Flowers

Written By:  Andrew Eide

I remember growing up to the saying that APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS. We recited that all the times when we were kids.

Then as I got older and lived in various parts of the United States I realized that some flowers bloom in the middle of Winter in January and February and that some flowers arrive earlier than May when they bloom in March and April.

Imagine how surprise I was to find out that flowers like the Crocus, Daffodil, and others will actually poke out through the layer of snow and bloom before the weather warms up.

Don’t always believe what you hear in a story, nursery rhyme, or children’s song. Believe what you observe as you go through life.
