Here are a few pictures from our backyard from about a week ago. Spring in the midwest is very nice; it comes on slowly, over a period of weeks. Every few days there is something new to see, a different tree or flower in bloom, leaves where just yesterday there had been buds, and so on. It’s really quite beautiful and filled with such promise!
I’m reminded that the old saying, April showers bring May flowers, isn’t just something people say, but in fact describes what will happen over the next couple of months.
