Storms Over?

Caught a "Moment in Time" yesterday evening during an April Shower.....Has been a monumental week, starting with a memorable Easter, tragic storms, a beautiful Brit Royal Wedding .......... an April we will remember!

Easter Week at Woods Branch

Easter Sunrise..... Just a glimpse, but yes the sun is still up there in spite of all the storms and rain.

Andy and the boys fishing in Woods Branch.......The water was coming up and the fish should have been biting like crazy, but they weren't having any luck. Guess with all the rains we have been having, the fish have been getting all the bugs and worms they can handle. Anyway, glad to see Andy teaching his boys the fun of fishing. They were each taking care of their own line.....

Had to show this picture. Bob had brought this can of worms to the kitchen to show me. I was busy and wasn't paying attention, but when I turned around, he had them on the kitchen table and proceeded to pull them out - dirt, worms and all - to especially show me the big night-crawler they had found - and he held it up, all stretched out - about 8" long, in fact. So excited! Needless to say, I told him to get them back in the can and get on the back porch with them. He carried them around like prized possessions.......

Record Rains for April. After the drought last summer, guess Mother Nature is catching up, but has us guessing. We are trying to get yard work done between showers and storms. And while we have been watching the sky (and river) the trees have leafed out. Is a beautiful Spring, in spite of all the storms!

Ready for the Easter Egg Hunt......All lined up ready to go......Captured a "Time " - Come to think of it, I think this was the only time all day they were all in one place, sitting still for half a minute.....the anticipation held them just about that long, and they were off, the brightly colored eggs were shining all over the yard.

An Easter Egg Hunt......the farm has experienced many - I think this is the 46th for us......Each year the family grows. One year the grandchildren decided they were "too big" to hunt eggs, but they didn't want to give up the tradition, so they hid the eggs and moms and dads hunted them. Might add they were hid in some very hard to find places. I found them all summer in clothes-line posts, tree branches, bird houses...you can't imagine!

Terri brought "bubbles", and for some reason, the kids - both big and small - piled on the boat and blew bubbles to the wind.....
