April showered thousands upon thousands of drops of rain

But, the sun kept shining

May flowered tenderly in candy pastels

Gifts from the sun who kept on shining

June danced with the faery beneath a mystical moon

While the midsummer sun kept shining

July searched desperately for shade

As the searing sun kept right on shining

August hoped for a hint of breeze

And the sun refused to stop shining

September whispered words long awaited

Of a bountiful harvest because the sun had kept on shining

October blazed in autumnal glory!

Yet another story, from the book of the sun who kept on shining

November smiled through sleepy eyes

Of gratitude for the sun who all year long had kept on shining

December hurried and flurried in moments of joy

And also some sorrow, but the sun kept on shining

January quietly began it all again

And so, the sun kept shining

February gazed upon soft snow drifting

Steady as a mountain, the cheerful sun kept on shining

Now March is on us

And without a doubt

The lovely sun shall keep on shining….

  1. March is an oddball month, a schizophrenic split between winter and spring. Lion and lamb. Too soon to plant; way too late to harvest. Maybe a good time to start charging the old batteries in advance of warmer days. So glad to see you pop up on my WordPress notifications! I liked your story of the sun’s constancy while each month manifested its unique personality.

    1. You’re so right! This week alone my wardrobe has covered all 4 seasons. One day it was close to 80 and another there was a chance of snow flurries. 😄. It doesn’t bother Bo much as he prefers to be indoors… not a bit spoiled, he isn’t. Dobby loves to be outside as much as possible when it’s cool though. So, he can’t get enough. Jack simply wants to chase things and cause havoc no matter the weather! Thank you very much. It’s nice to be here and I really liked the way you summed it up. It sounds pretty ok when you say it like that. Now, stop reading and go charge those batteries or get into some hedgehog trouble! 😄
