I only have a few pictures again, but I need to try to post more regularly, so here we are. Sunset on April 2nd: Sunrise through the mountain ash tree branches on April 3rd: And then here's the big surprise. Or not. When I got up this morning, it was snowing and clearly had been doing so for a while. There was probably half an inch of snow on the ground already when I went out to take pictures of the eagle around 11AM. And it kept on snowing for a while after that, though it's stopped now. And yet it was still warm outside - a nice 0°C, so the snow was already kind of turning into slush.
Anyway, the first picture is one I took around 9AM. (What a contrast to the first picture, eh?) Then later, closer to 11, my mom saw an eagle sitting in one of the trees. So after I went out to take a look, I came back and got my camera. But when I walked closer to the eagle, for some reason he felt threatened by that, even though he has wings and was probably seventy feet off the ground, and I don't have wings and was on the ground. So he flew away.

Well, I did not know that the bean seeds were arriving today, until about five minutes before the truck showed up. But they did, and here are a few pictures, courtesy of my sister! (I was keeping an eye on supper and asked if she would take some pictures for me.)
Okay, first I have a bit of a comedy for a picture. I took this on the morning of March 24th, but the incident had happened the night before. Red arrow: The path we made through the snow to get to some of the outbuildings. Yellow arrow: What the cat does when he thinks he's about to get fed and decides that it wastes too much time to run around the corner. The sun behind the clouds on March 26th: Sunrise on March 29th: Very spring-type scene that same day - all the grassy and muddy patches between the stubborn spots of snow and ice - and then the sunset later that evening. Snow sparkling on the morning of March 30th, and then the sunset that evening. And March 31 - Easter morning - dawned beautifully bright and clear, which I thought was so fitting! Jesus is alive! We serve a risen Saviour! The sunset Easter evening was also gorgeous. I already love Easter because it's celebration of Jesus' resurrection, but when I see a scene like this on the same day, it's just amazing to me! " . . .Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen . . ." ~Luke 24:5b-6a
