That old saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers” has me a little nervous. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with May flowers. May flowers are great.

Then there’s the quality of contemplation and well earned repose in the figures, along with the gentle atmosphere of a calm summer twilight. Mmmm, summer’s coming….
