I grew up with the saying “April showers bring May flowers,” which is quite appropriate for Michigan. It doesn’t work for Ucar, Azerbaijan. Here it’s early March and we have some rainy days behind us (although there are probably more to come) 
and flowers are blooming. The grass never really disappeared (it only snowed once this winter, and it stayed for less than a week) but I can see the fresh green of the new grass compared with the old grass. Daffodils and violets are out and some trees have a hint of green. And while it’s a little muddy it’s definitely more welcome than the mud in the fall. This mud is in anticipation of spring and growth while the fall mud doesn’t give one much to look forward to except days huddled around whatever heat source is available. Men have started to play dominoes outside – the click click click is a sure sound of better weather. During the day it’s been in the 50’s and 60’s and the sun is beaming down all around town. The only place that’s not warm yet is inside – when it’s a concrete block building, it doesn’t warm up quite as quickly as it does outside…maybe next month.
