April
the fourth month of the year each year it seems new
unpredictable the temperature rises balmy days disappear
fruit trees begin to bud new green everywhere colorful crocus appear
clouds gather on the horizons dark and grey storms bring snow
winter again hat and gloves get your coat
hibernate a little longer stoke the fire in the fireplace dream of summer

'each year it seems new'...that it does :)
You have captured the vicissitudes of April so well. Yesterday we had warm sun and birdsong. Today the wall of trees outside my window are flailing back and forth in wind and it is grey and wet. And we are April fools, lol, alternately charmed and doused.
Just lovely! The way you write it, it seems like a sweet and natural progression despite the need for protection against the cold.
I have a friend in Aztec who's been sitting by her wood stove for the past few days. April's promised warmth comes slowly to northern New Mexico, it seems.
We spend both Summer and Winter dreaming of the opposite season! The details you capture here speak to me.
Lots of things happen in April, even the birth of another fool. Love your depictions of this crazy month. Had to go to the doctor today. My sister said they were forecasting gusts of wind up to 40 miles an hour. They were correct,
