early spring morning

this morning- the day after Easter morning - arrived in Oregon in her usual fashion, 10 minutes of glorious warm sun, followed by a good rain and maybe a little snow thrown in for good measure...a rainbow, the size of which hasn't been seen in years, and now wind & rain and snow falling in our hills. We had a really lovely Easter, warm and soft weather, flowers beginning to bloom and my family, with smiling faces, all around our table. I hope that yours, too, was a lovely day.

Wow dear friend, what a glorious photo... It is a crisp Autumn morning here but still unfortunately no rain in site... It is a clear blue sky and I would say another warm day. Enjoy those gorgeous Spring blossoms for me...

Christe!
What an absolute magnificent Miracle of Nature! The rainbow is beautiful!!! I bet there is a big old Pot of dollies at the end of it!!

Thanks for sharing your morning. We are going to get some white fluffies this evening as well. I hope that it melts quick!

Blessings,
Tink

Dear Katie,Amber,cathy michelle & Doreen,
Thak you for all your wonderful compliments!
Doreen, Martha Ballard is on Katie's website...I just love reading about her. Have you read The Midwife's Tale? It's just wonderful and there's also a PBS video of it which I love to watch.
Have you done any research into your family? Wouldn't that be fun to find out if you & she were of the same Ballard family?
She was in Maine which is very close to you.
Have a beautiful day, we have snow sugaring our daffodils.
