spring flowers & summer showers

We have been enjoying our seasonal blooms as we stroll around our Weehawken neighborhood. 

Walking off a happy meal and taking the time to chat with folks lovingly tending their gardens. 

The weather these past few days reminds us of this poem by Karen Chappell - 


April showers bring May flowers,
That is what they say.
But if all the showers turned to flowers,
We’d have quite a colourful day!


There’d be bluebells and cockleshells,

Tulips red and green,
Daffodils and Chinese squill,
The brightest you’ve ever seen.





You’d see tiger lilies and water lilies,
Carnations pink and blue,
Forget-me-not and small sundrop
Glistening with the dew.




We’d have fireweed and milkweed
And many more different flowers.
Mexican star and shooting star,
Falling in the showers.




And if all the showers turned to flowers
On that rainy April day,
Would all the flowers turn to showers
In the sunny month of May?





With May now over and half of June gone wonder | wander | women are happily looking forward to being reunited in a few days.

Summer in New York City will be a sizzler for sure!
