APRIL FOOLS! |
from one of my favorite girlhood books,
Ginnie and the Mystery House:
Winter was really going now. The March wind raged, and the trees stood stark against the sky; but the ground lay dry and bare, waiting for the shadow of green that would soon creep through to carpet it. . . .
March, with its boom of threatening winds, had blown itself out and died quietly in the night. Ginnie awoke on the first of April to spring sunshine dancing on tender green. Funny, she thought as she stood at the open window of her room for a moment before getting dressed, how the weather seemed to know when a new month started.
This was April Fool's Day. . . . (77, 109)
Ginnie and the Mystery House
and Ginnie and the Mystery Doll
Looking back over the month, however,
it seems that March was easy on us this year,
not much of a lion, mostly a lamb.
