OK. Colors of Spring it is for April. I was initially thinking pastels, but then I thought about those "delightful" bright yellow dandelions on the fresh new grass, and, of course, the deep purples and yellows of crocuses. My personal favorite reflects the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Festivals - pink!

I have to share this since it always makes me chuckle when I think of the Sakura Festival. Decades ago I was pestering a friend of mine to go to the Sakura Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. He resisted and finally asked, "Why on earth do you want to go to a festival celebrating a Russian dissident?" He thought I wanted to go to a Sakharov festival! OK. I'm weird. But you already knew that.
