Today is my parent's 37th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! Wow... 37 years. Congratulations... oh, and uh, the card will be late!
When I talked to my Dad earlier this evening, he asked how the farm faired with all the rain we had earlier this week. I'm a firm believer that a picture's worth at least 10,000 words, so here are a couple photos for you, Dad!
The weather is a bit different this spring. It was on March 19, 2007 when Alan and I rode the 4-wheeler through this pond...there wasn't nearly as much water in the pond at this time last year! The wildflowers were also starting to bloom this time last year.
This week I noticed a few little white star flowers blooming, but no sign of the blue bonnets yet. We needed this week's rain. It's been real dry so far this year. Maybe the rain will jump start the wildflowers.
Alan was in search of frogs this evening when we were down at the pond. We've noticed that the frogs and toads are real loud during the evening and at night. He saw a few, but they were too far out into the water to catch. Wouldn't THOSE have been good photos!
I really enjoy days and evenings after a big rain. The air is clean, everything smells fresh, and the evening light is crisp. As Martha would say, it's a good thing.
Mom and Dad, I hope you enjoyed a nice dinner in town. Knowing that you got lots more snow today (they live in Northeastern Washington), it's nice to be able to send you a little bit of virtual sunshine!
It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful sunset. Here's one more photo, just for you.
Happy Anniversary!
Gorgeous photographs! Happy Anniversary to your parents! :D

Hi Anna! Love all your recent cards & photos. (Alan is a cutie!) We've had a lot of snow lately here in Kingston and it's nice to see anything that doesn't resemble a frozen winterland (notice I purposely didn't say "wonder" - ha). The sun is in the sky today - nice for Easter.
Have a nice Easter Holiday Anna & Alan!!

What a wonderful anniversary greeting for your parents, Anna! They'll enjoy this - I did!!! And yes, lots of snow/hail/rain up here (Idaho, just over the line from Mom and Dad) today, and it's snowing right now. But...it's spring!! So there's hope! Keep up the good work. Your parents must be proud. xoxox Jeanne
