Kate： April

“April showers bring May flowers” is an English saying that means that if it rains in April it will bring many beautiful flowers in May. This saying has definitely been true this year in Osaka. It's rained for almost a week straight so far! To many, April is considered the beginning of spring, when flowers start to bloom, the days get longer again, and the temperature starts to rise, but in Boston it can be different.

Every year people wait to see what will happen in April. We will either get a slow start to spring or one last blast of winter. When I was in elementary school, we had a snowstorm big enough to cancel school for a week. This year it seems the weather can’t decide what it wants to do. There was a snowstorm at the end of March and now the temperature is sliding between summer and winter daily. I’m so glad that Osaka’s weather is warmer and more stable than Boston. Now, if only summer wasn’t so humid…
