The First of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed. (Mark Twain)

April brings us showers and Tax Day in the USA, the day that I, along with a number of other fools, occasionally have to send way too much money to the US Government.

The Cherry Blossom Festival, which takes place about 20 miles east of here, is also a yearly April happening.
