April Showers Bring May Flowers


We've all heard and probably even used this saying, right? Did you know that it originates all the way back to a poem in 1610 stating Sweet April showers/Do spring May flowers? Then a similar phrase was mentioned in an 1886 proverb: March Winds and April showers bring forth May flowers. It's kind of neat that such a well known phrase has so much history!






Even if you're not a flower grower yourself, the gorgeous pictures in these books are sure to get rid of those gloomy vibes and put you into Spring-y mood!
