Season & Life Changes

These are the earliest Spring blooming wild flowers found in the woods and around the yard.
White Trout Lily- Harbinger of Spring- Wild Violets-
Spring Beauties- Wood Poppy- Cut-leaved Toothwort



So many changes were seen with the coming of Spring....
Blooming peach trees, daffodils, magnolia, forsythia and crocus!



The biggest change however since my last post is....
The marriage of a third grandchild!



Katie and Mitchell's lovely wedding was March 16th!


The beautiful cake with delicate blue tinted flowers was baked by her mother's friend, Lisa Pottorf.

 



The color theme was black and white with creamy white roses.

 


Mitch and Katie stayed with us for four days before heading to their new home in New Mexico.  On their slow drive there, they zip-lined over a river somewhere in Missouri and....



Katie e-mailed me photos of a cavern they explored!



Once they are settled...
I will be e-mailing Katie and Mitch recipes of meals like these...



The morning after their wedding a 'ring' of clouds appeared in the sky.
A few other pre-spring days had different looks.




This morning was bright and warm....spring is greening the yard...
bringing changes....



Spring is also bringing...
..... a soon to be visit from Amanda, who lives in Washington State with her husband Bronson!



Guess who is a 'very happy' girl.... Amanda's little sister ALIVIA!
