Aprílové Počasí

The month of April is called Duben in the Czech Republic, but the well used expression "Aprílové Počasí" means April Weather, aka crazy temperature shifts, snow, rain, sleet, and hot sun. My Canadian cousin came to visit, and after her stop in Oslo, Norway, the spring in CZ was like a tropical fruit blast. Over the course of April, the dogwood trees began to bud, the sun got hot, there was some snow, I took a tour of the Moser glassworks, there was the Czech Easter tradition of smacking women with willow whips, and I participated in the Putney School Worldwide workday.
