March and April
Stay in, stay in, O flowers, stay in,
Spring can't begin, it can't begin!
For wild rough March rides all about,
Don't put your little noses out;
Small heads should keep safe under ground,
Or March will catch you riding round.

With a hop, skip and jump, Algy landed in the midst of the beautiful glowing grasses which lit up the drier areas of the peat bogs and moorland when the sun managed to shine in the latter part of the year.
As he floated on a sea of autumn colour, Algy revelled in the fabulous patchwork of his bed, for he was surrounded by every possible hue of russet, red and gold, with accents of tantalising green still mixed in to provide a palette which any painter would be justly proud of.
Resting gently on the soft grasses, Algy resolved to spend a lazy Sunday just drifting and dreaming, while there was still some warmth in the world. As he dozed happily in a golden reverie, sometimes half awake and sometimes half asleep, a sweet wee verse he had once read in a book kept repeating itself over and over in his head, like the comforting drone of the bees somewhere out of sight on the last remaining heather:
Golden in the garden,
Golden in the glen,
Golden, golden, golden
September’s here again!
Golden in the tree tops,
Golden in the sky—
Golden, golden, golden
September’s going by!
Algy hopes that you will all have a happy, lazy Sunday too 🧡
[Algy is quoting September, a wee rhyme by the little known early 20th century American children's poet Annette Wynne.]

The Tree That Lives Beside the Brook, by Annette Wynne
The tree that lives beside the brook,
May see itself if it should look;
But perhaps it does not try.
It would rather see the sky
Than look into the brook and trace
The shadows of its leafy face.

The moon walked across the lake,
And left a trembling glittering wake;
But when she stepped upon the green,
Not a silvery trace was seen.

Rain, Rain, April Rain
Rain, Rain, April RainBy Annette WynneArtist Michael GorbanRain, rain, April rain,Washing tree and window pane,Tapping every spot of ground,Lest some sleepy seed be found;I can watch you and be gayThough I cannot go to play.
Rain, rain, April rain,Washer of the hill and plain,Summer could not be so gayIf it did not rain to-day,And it’s fun to stay insideAnd see you falling far and wide.

A Wish Is Quite a Tiny Thing
A wish is quite a tiny thing
Just like a bird upon the wing,
It flies away all fancy free
And lights upon a house or tree;
It flies across the farthest air,
And builds a safe nest anywhere.

Pictures are Windows
By Annette Wynne
Pictures are windows to many lands,
But a book is a door that ready stands
To him who will open and go outside,
Where the rivers and plains are free and wide.
Pictures are windows through which we look,
But the door of the world is just a book!
