A little April Shower

Good day everyone and welcome to another blog post.

It's Wednesday and that means a new challenge at


The theme for this week is "April Showers" chosen by our lovely Anne Marie.

It's difficult to believe that Spring has arrived.  It's been so cold these past few days.
We definitely are in need of our hats and scarves, just like this little cutie.
A dear friend is going thru a bad patch at the moment and I thought this might cheer her up.
