(1) A couples days after the Creek is Flooding blog, a pile of bikes showed up in the road, as I swung the car around the curve, heading home from work.
A crowd of boys was having the time of their life slogging through the boggy creek bed, discovering treasures and muddying up every article of clothing they had on. I had fun watching them. Are they the ones who got that soccer ball?
I hope so. I'm just glad I'm not the mother of this pack of wild things.(2) Spring is so definitely here, that I had to take a few shots of the evidence.
(3) It's easy to catch nice photos on quiet days, when just Warren and I and the cats are rattling around the house. It's when four more people come roaring in with suitcases and exciting lives and big plans and lots of stories, that I forget to get out the camera.
First my dear hubby drove up to St. Paul to pick up my father for an Easter visit. He hit snow on the Minnesota border, from 4 to 10 inches around the Twin Cities.
They got back the next day with little to show for it but the traces of salt that covered the car. (No photo of that. But I did THINK about taking that shot!)
(4) We had great times, sitting around the table with family and friends, chatting about so many things. I was lucky to get any photos during this time.
(5) Here's a shot of my three "kids." Dan--Sarah's dear hubby, Sarah, and Ben.
(6) During this time period we also noticed a bluebird pair scouting our bluebird houses. Maybe this year, we'll be blessed with bluebird eggs that hatch!
The male scouts out the box:
The female waits patiently in the redbud:
I'll be back. Things to do. More Mind Blogging to take care of....

The birds have all come back to visit at my house, too. I keep the feeders filled all year just to enjoy seeing the first of those that return in the spring.
It looks like you had a wonderful visit and lots of good family time!
