April Fool's Day...

...arrived one day early in Connecticut this year.

This was the backyard yesterday-

And this is today - April 1

Happy Birthday Jimmie Joe!

And HAPPY MAYBE-SPRING everybody up here!

in Just-

spring          when the world is mud-

luscious 

the little

lame balloonman

whistles          far          and wee

and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far          and             wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

         the
                  goat-footed
balloonMan          whistles

far

and

wee
