Easter Morning

The winter has been extra harsh this year, with a January that saw below zero temperatures for most of the month, and deep snow that covered the ground from before Christmas to now when there are still a few patches left in shady places.  I wondered if any of the bulbs in the ground, or perennials would come back this year.  Glory be!  On this Easter morning, hope is alive for all things, because this tiny iris has given us a bloom to remind us what this day signifies.  May everyone have a beautiful day, and have hope in the future.

Easter Morning

Since the only flowers in my yard are a few miniature blue iris on this chilly Easter day, I had to find a picture from last summer's plentiful blossoms. White seems appropriate for the joyful day of Resurrection, and red to remind us of the pain involved in the events of Good Friday. We are reminded that this chilly, cold spring will soon pass, and we'll be enjoying days of seeing the tulips and the daffodils bloom, with other flowers to follow. Our choir of some 35+ members sang "Joy in the Morning" today as the closing song for Sacrament services. It

certainly fit the wonders of the day.
