spring. . .

brings all kinds of baby animals.  And we loved the chance to go enjoy them at a friend's house!






And then when we got home, what a treat!  A full double rainbow.

how do you sled in the desert?


On sand of course!






When dear friends ask you to spend a Saturday away from home with them it is sometimes easy to think of all the work that needs done around your place.  But when you accept the invitation, you end up being very blessed by the day.  What fun to visit some new places close to our new home.  After a picnic lunch and sledding down the sand dunes, we enjoyed the canyon with much awe.  What a perfect place to sit and sing praises to our creator!

one of my favorite things. . .

What a peaceful morning!

Mom working in her corner, boy weaving, and girl doing embroidery.





Yep, that’s what I call WONDERFUL!!!

what is a dust storm?

If you would have asked me this question a couple of months ago, I wouldn’t have been able to answer it.  But now I know.  A dust storm is when you look out your windows and the view that you usually can see is simply not there.  It seems like a combination of all the freshly worked fields and the strong spring winds.  Very fascinating for us newcomers!  It also means that when it is all over and you go to your window (which is closed and locked) and find a layer of sand or fine grit on your window sill.
