Easter Sunday

Today is EASTER - Jesus has RISEN!! Had a wonderful church service today about Jesus' resurrection being the first fruits of our own resurrection and is what gives us true life here on earth now and the promised life of eternal joy in heaven. Terry's Mom joined me in church today. We went to Chan's for a nice lunch and then I headed home. It was typical Central Oregon Easter weather - rainy, cold, and windy. Since Easter is sometimes even in different months of the year, you would think the weather would cooperate sometimes. But truely, it is rare to have a warm sun shiny day. However, it turned out to be a perfect day for the dogs to chew on their bones and for me to take a nap!!!

Signs of spring

It was a beautiful day today and got up to 70 degrees!! Terry was in Portland OR this morning and sent me a picture of the wonderful daffodils in the Willamette Valley. Later I took a walk and found these 2 crocuses blooming in our back yard. You can see that the High Desert of Central Oregon is significantly behind the Valley in the race for Spring, but the crocuses give us hope. Unfortunately, another storm is coming tomorrow - on a Saturday - which is so typical of our area.
