So many signs of new life!

My walks lately have revealed so many wonderful signs of spring!

Fun filled easter!

After a wonderful church service Kristin and I were so inspired by the message of new life that we snagged a couple of great kids from church, added two more from the neighborhood and headed down to the pond to check out the new life there.

Wyndham and Kristin each caught a frog and we all witnessed this giant turtle!

Then back home to join Frank in playing with some of the toys from his Easter basket.

What a great day!

Easter Egging

After a wonderful dinner we decided to share the blessings of the Easter season with a few selected families within our circle...four attempts, zero apprehensions...successful mission!

Stephens Falls

I love this hike!
