TIDBITS® SEES THAT THE
FLOWERS ARE COMING!
by Patricia L. Cook Now that the end of April is here, and we look forward to May, flowers are popping up everywhere. Remember, “April showers bring May flowers.” • The man who has been credited with coining the above phrase actually said it a little differently. Thomas Tusser was a poet and agricultural writer in the 16th century. He published “One Hundred Good Points of Husbandry” in England in 1557. Later, in 1573, he expanded the writing to “Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry.” • Tusser’s writing was in old English style where he wrote, “Sweet April showers, do spring May flowers.” His books were collections of instructions on housekeeping, gardening and farming. His poems contained humor as well as wisdom. • Despite his wisdom, Tusser’s fame did not come until after his death in London in 1580. His words have lived on for centuries.

• Other familiar quotes attributed to Tusser include: 1)“A fool and his money are soon parted.” 2)“God sendeth and giveth both mouth and meat.” 3)“Always look at the sunny side of life.” Many quotes from his writing have been changed to more modern language styles. turn the page for more!
