The glories of April fill every sense!  The feel of the wind in my hair thrills me; and I’m not even outside I’m in the house in a windows-open day! After the immediate barrenness of winter, spring seems like a dream. Everything wild and cultivated takes on a new life of color, texture, sound, and smell…truly more than the senses can contain in any one moment or hour!
