My shopping day was fine...I pampered myself by buying little things I love...like flowers for the garden and scented candles! LOL- I even bought the expensive clothes dryer sheets instead of the store brand!
(lol- big spender that I am!!)

I also searched the CDs section, looking for anything to buy that I might like! All that caught my eye was a BYRDS cd. I have been wanting to hear their music, since friends on the music forum have often mentioned them! The CD I bought is called 'America's Great National Treasure.' Not knowing a thing about the Byrds I don't know if this is a good representative selection of their music, or not! I'm listening now and sounds very nice...but I need to find lyrics to read before I give my complete seal of approval! :) Has a bit of country sound, at least some of the songs do!

(Also bought some country CDs for my husband, for our anniversary -6 days from now!!)


It's 5:10 here now and has started to rain...the sky prematurely dark. We need the rain so I won't fret about it and as 'they say'...April showers bring May flowers!


Here's a happy song about that!



April Showers
(Al Jolson)

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here is the point you should never miss.

Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets, Because it isn't raining rain, you know,
(It's raining violets,) And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird,
And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.



NOTE:

Yes! Yes!!! on this Byrd's CD! :)
