April is here!

Page from Sketchbook


Yes friends April is here!















It brought us a special gift the day after Easter.

We awoke to a lovely snowfall.












Every shrub and limb was covered.













By noon it was beginning to melt and at
4:00 P.M.  it was gone.  It was as if
it had never happened.














So yes April has arrived - she may be teasing us but she is here!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.   BTW - this post is early - we are celebrating my Mom's birthday tomorrow.  She will be 80.

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.  
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."  Prov. 31:30-31 (NIV)

  3. Happy birthday to your Mom :) and thanks for sharing the lovely painting (such joy to see those red red robins, a sure sign that spring is just teasing us and will stay some day). We had snow, too, and more - just a dusting that is gone by the afternoon (the best kind of snow, in my opinion!)

  5. Wishing a Happy Birthday to your mom!!! Your bird is lovely! That photo of the trees and the lamp in the snow is filled with atmosphere...well done. I like these storms where it snows, looks pretty, and then disappears quickly. I hope the birthday celebration was fun and that you have a wonderful week.

Windy & Stormy

 Finally after windy and stormy weather we are enjoying a lovely Sunday of blue skies.  April has certainly delivered several inches of rain...
