It's Mid April and Snowing!

Why oh why is it snowing outside right now? Aren't we supposed to have spring showers and weather at least in the 50's? Spring is never going to grace us in Iowa with it's presence. I just keep telling myself at least we will have moisture this year and hopefully green green yards, lots of bright pretty flowers, and bountiful gardens (if we can ever plant them).

Until the weather improves some snaps from a recent Niobrara trip. Sometimes it's the simple little things in life that make one smile and the heart happy. Especially in crazy times like now where the Boston bombings and the Texas explosion have caused unbearable pain and loss. Such a good reminder to hug family and friends extra tight and say a few extra prayers of thankfulness for this life I am blessed with.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the hear oft he sea, though its waters roar and foam an mountains quake with their surging" Psalm 46:1-3
