Today Nantes can't seem to decide what kind of weather it would like - it has gone back and forth from sunshine to rain at least 5 times now. It's a silly thing to notice, but for some reason I feel as if I am becoming tied to the weather here - I never go anywhere without my umbrella and a jacket just in case the weather suddenly changes.
I guess this is a good thing.
It has been April for 4 days and it has rained at least once a day for those 4 days. I am now beginning to realize that what they say about April showers is indeed true in Nantes. I realize this, however, only after a horribly embarrassing moment in the kitchen with Darryl.
I was looking out the window as has become my habit here lately while Darryl was finishing up with washing her dishes. It was raining, it is always raining in these stories. I said, "I thought April is supposed to be the month of flowers..." She just stopped her washing and looked at me and said, "April showers, bring May flowers" before she started laughing. I laughed, too - still the same, my eyes never left the window.
I am still looking out the window, still looking at the rain. If if what they say is true of April showers here in Nantes, so too shall I hope what they say of flowers in the approaching month will also be true.
