Halloween - Tricks and Treats

This past week's weather made us wonder if Halloween was going to be bearable. We went from fall to winter really quickly, but then back again in a couple days, as we often do here in the fall. The first photo was taken last weekend, and the next one was taken this past Monday afternoon. We had snow off an on from Monday until Thursday, but got less than 6 inches here. Denver got up to 2 feet in some places. However, by yesterday, it was 60 and the snow had almost all melted away in time for going out trick or treating.

White Easter

Yes, folks, it's true....you are more than twice as likely to see a white Easter here in Colorado Springs as you are to see a white Christmas! We had 4 inches of heavy wet white stuff just this morning! What a refreshing reminder of the beauty of Easter, and a much needed drink after an unusually dry winter.
Of course, it will probably all be melted by tomorrow afternoon, so we'll enjoy it as it comes!

PS 51:7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

PR 25:13 Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.

ISA 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.



Tanner (and Wesley) love to roll in the snow!

We almost had an Easter snowball fight after church....

Easter morning beside the house Wesley made snow angels today!

And later, the kids hunted for eggs in the basement! After a while, we will head to cousin Jen's for an Easter dinner with family.
