So I know it's "April showers bring May flowers" but I just couldn't help myself.... Today was beautiful here in NC-close to 70, light ...
They say that April showers bring May flowers. Well, it's still a bit too early for the flowers, but the showers have certainly started and we're using
There seems to be some discrepancy as to when the rhyme was first penned by farmer and poet Thomas Tusser "Sweet April Showers Do Spring May Flowers." Some accounts say 1500's, others 1600's or 1800's. Whenever it was written, it has surely stuck and been modified along the way to just "April Showers bring May Flowers." In searching for vintage children's books about flowers, I was struck by how lovely the antique books were. I thought about young children of long ago looking at these beautifully illustrated books and how they would have informed young minds, fueled their imaginations and provided exposure to fine art.

Even though we didn't end April with showers, it was a cloudy day. We had plenty of rain last weekend however. I can't believe that tomorrow is already May Day. Today we used watercolor paints on paper plates for our umbrella shapes. I cut out somewhat of a flower shape out of several colors of tissue paper. The kids selected 3 colors to layer to make a flower. They each made 5 flowers for their umbrella. They glued a yellow construction paper circle in the center of each flower. We tucked green construction paper leaves under some of the flowers as well.
