Posted this last week on my blog site and didn’t get around to doing so here sooner because I’ve been keeping pretty busy.   \n  \nBlog site post: [https://thegoodmanscorner.wordpress.com/2026/05/02/the-arrival-of-an-awaited-april-shower/](https://thegoodmanscorner.wordpress.com/2026/05/02/the-arrival-of-an-awaited-april-shower/)","content":"\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; **The Arrival Of An Awaited April Shower**\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; **By: A.X.
