March Sun brings April Snow?

Then this morning we woke to this:

Blowing snow and blizzard like conditions. School ended up being canceled but only after four of the buses turned around on their routes and deemed it too dangerous to continue driving. This kind of weather in April shouldn't surprise us, as it happens every year, but when you've been spoiled with a week of sun and warmth, it feels like you're plunging into months of winter again.
We know this weather won't last so we'll just hunker down and enjoy an indoor day. I think this kind of day is a good reminder that God is in control of all things and that He decides when to send sun and rain, snow and frost.

Last week, my sister Diane came to visit for a few days. We had a great time going to the market and driving through the beautiful countryside on one of the days. The following days were spent relaxing; the change of pace was conducive to having tea, chatting and chilling. Since our lives run such different courses it is rare that we have uninterrupted visits. She made a point of capturing our fun with her ever-present camera, and here are the results:

The ragged looking cast - it finally came off on Friday (to be documented in another blog).

Collecting beer cans and bottles in the ditches. What addicting fun!

Naomi loves colouring and being creative.
