Welcome to April. The color palette on my Logr site this month was picked thinking of the pinks of 桃 «Momo», Sakura and Plum blossoms as well as the beautiful greens of breaking spring. The birds are singing in our back yard and the uguisu is back too. Ah spring! 🌸

Hugo Pipes is what enables weaving Sass variables into site code, to make it super simple to change the color scheme with a couple variables to define the scheme for the month.
