Surprise, Surprise

I only have a few pictures again, but I need to try to post more regularly, so here we are.

And then here's the big surprise.  Or not.   When I got up this morning, it was snowing and clearly had been doing so for a while.   There was probably half an inch of snow on the ground already when I went out to take pictures of the eagle around 11AM.  And it kept on snowing for a while after that, though it's stopped now.  And yet it was still warm outside - a nice 0°C, so the snow was already kind of turning into slush.
  Anyway, the first picture is one I took around 9AM.  (What a contrast to the first picture, eh?)  Then later, closer to 11, my mom saw an eagle sitting in one of the trees.  So after I went out to take a look, I came back and got my camera.  But when I walked closer to the eagle, for some reason he felt threatened by that, even though he has wings and was probably seventy feet off the ground, and I don't have wings and was on the ground.  So he flew away.

Well, I did not know that the bean seeds were arriving today, until about five minutes before the truck showed up.  But they did, and here are a few pictures, courtesy of my sister!  (I was keeping an eye on supper and asked if she would take some pictures for me.)

Okay, first I have a bit of a comedy for a picture.  I took this on the morning of March 24th, but the incident had happened the night before.  Red arrow: The path we made through the snow to get to some of the outbuildings.  Yellow arrow: What the cat does when he thinks he's about to get fed and decides that it wastes too much time to run around the corner.

Very spring-type scene that same day - all the grassy and muddy patches between the stubborn spots of snow and ice - and then the sunset later that evening.

And March 31 - Easter morning - dawned beautifully bright and clear, which I thought was so fitting!  Jesus is alive!  We serve a risen Saviour!

The sunset Easter evening was also gorgeous.  I already love Easter because it's celebration of Jesus' resurrection, but when I see a scene like this on the same day, it's just amazing to me!
