Here comes Peter Cottontail… Brrrrrrr…. Ouch!


As we rode to Sunrise Services this morning, the thermometer in the overhead console glowed 30° F. You come to expect a cool snap around Easter, but this year was very unusual. This Easter falls right in the middle of the five week span which defines the day.

Easter festival should be celebrated throughout the Christian world on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox. If the full moon should occur on a Sunday and thereby coincide with the Passover festival, Easter should be commemorated on the Sunday following.

Full moon was this past Monday – after the first day of Spring last month on the 21st. Spring has been kinda strange across the eastern half of the nation. Three of three MLB games scheduled in Cleveland this weekend were cancelled – DUE TO SNOW!

The air conditioner was running just four days ago (temperature was just short of the 90° mark) --- the heat has been on for the last 3 days.

Standing on the front courtyard of church this morning, jackets covered pastels. Sandals were endured for the few moments until Grace was said for the breakfast that waited in the Fellowship Hall. And damage was done to the tender vegetation around the farm.


Crepe myrtle



Pecan




Paulownia


Potatoes in the Garden


Hydrangea and Metro

Watching the Master's this afternoon, Amen Corner (and especially the 13th) is just beautiful with Dogwood and Azalea.
