Spring

Sandi - what a darling picture of your granddaughter. And that hair! I'm always jealous because our son had very little hair, until he was three years old. ;o)

I love the photos of flowers and color! We don't have much here, yet. The Bradford Pear trees completely opened up their (white) flowers this weekend, and a lot of (wild?) cherry trees are blooming white flowers. There are some pink variety of cherry trees in bloom right now (not Yoshino variety), forsythia, and I saw a flowering quince bush in bloom this morning on the grounds of our church. Spring is coming . . .

I'm very concerned right now for the New Zealanders in ChristChurch, because they are heading into winter with damaged homes,and some are homeless. On another sewing board a NZ'er posted a link to the long drop home page. (copy & paste) http://www.showusyourlongdrop.co.nz/ Well, I always say it's better to laugh than cry, although sometimes we need a good cry before we can laugh. Our dear Kiwis have such inner strength (and creativity!) in trying to find the lighter side of their serious disaster. They set an example for the rest of the world, IMO. Well done.

Great site Doris ! Loved the variation on the theme ! We were lucky not to have had to do that ourselves. An after-shock last night was too close for comfort. The photos have brightened up the page, it took me awhile to remember how to post one !

Thanks for sharing the link, Doris. Those Kiwi's can certainly make anything an adventure, can't they. Good on them!
