April showers bring May flowers. Have you heard of it before? April is the perfect month to be outdoors. Its not too cold or hot but in today's forecast it is really cold. Loving the rain we have been getting here in the area. Today is putting on warm pj's and sipping on some hot coffee. April is a great month for art festivals. I am a lover of the arts so being able to attend these festivals is a plus. The Deep Ellum Arts Festival was last weekend and this past weekend was the Main St. Ft. Worth Arts Festival. While it rained in Dallas it was windy for Ft Worth. It also got canceled Sunday due to the raining and winds. If you missed them that's okay there is always next year. If you have visited both art festivals you will see that they are different in some ways. For instance the Deep Ellum is more about the people and the place. Love the Deep Ellum Festival and I get to do what I call, people watch. See some interesting characters. The one in Ft. Worth is all about the art. People all over the United States come to show us their work. States like Oregon, Tennessee, Florida, Rhode Island, are a few but the list is endless, and of course locals. The vendors in Ft. Worth also get awards for their art. It gets jammed pack. Feels like you are in traffic but walking without music as riding bumper to bumper in the car.

The month is almost halfway over but there is still time to squeeze in the arts if you live in the DFW area. This coming Saturday is the Cedar Springs Art Festival, on yes, Cedar Springs. Hope to go down and check it out. Have you ever been on Cedar Springs in the day light? It is totally different than at night. just hope they had enough vendors for the event. At the end of the month, the last weekend of April, there will also be a gallery walk. A Deep Ellum Art Walk. This also allows you to visit galleries you would normally not get acquainted with.

Before the month is over enjoy the outdoors because May is around the corner and it will get H.O.T.
I've heard "I'm bored is there anything to do?" many times from many people. There is always something to do just feed your brain and pump your inner soul with art.
