No Foolin'

Day 170:
"He who fools when Fools is past
Is the biggest fool at last."

So my mother used to say to me when my April Fools' pranks continued on into the next few days following the first of the month. Now I ask you, is this flowering plum fooling? Or is it on the level when it tells us that Spring is here? Could such a delicate and lovely face hide falsity in its blush? Never! As fair as the flower, Spring follows in truth.
