Songwriter Paul Simon and April, the Frenchie

 pc: wikipedia 
Songwriter, Paul Simon, turns 77 years old soon (October 13th).

Mr Simon is, of course, the other half of the phenomenal American Folkrock duo, Simon & Garfunkel . Paul Simon was also once married to actress, Carrie Fisher -- always to be remembered as Princess Leia.

Pretty April, the French Bulldog, belongs to someone in the neighborhood.  Met her and owner for the first time while on our daily dog walk and that day happened to be  April's 2nd birthday. I'd wanted a French Bulldog since reading The Great Grisby by Mikita Brottman. In fact, I am glad that April and Grisby kind of look alike. I had never seen an adult Frenchie till I met April, and they're far cuter than I imagined.

April, the French Bulldog
"April Come She Will" - by Paul Simon

April come she will
When streams are ripe 
and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I remember
A love once new has now grown old
