Saturday. Ours and Delightful



April Fools Day, the first.
Yeah, that’s a good one.
Coincidently the Elmira Maple Syrup
Festival.
Happens in large measure.


Will miss that one.
Happily the skies have cleared.
Concession owners will all be thrilled.
They say Town population
More than doubles.
Great Regional drawing card.


We are in our living room
Large balcony shows
Beautiful Day birthing.
Relaxed easy thankful mood.
Music playing.
Got a bunch of cheapo used
Music CDs.


All venues…blues, pop tunes, show tunes.
Classical orchestra, piano.
Tony, Frank, Neil, Barbara
Kenny, Shania, Aretha.
But presently Andre Rieu
And his Strauss Orchestra.
Blue Danube. Bolero.


With sun outside getting
Stronger and happier.
April will include my birthday
And spring Robins.
Snows are gone.
