Finally some sun!!

I'm so thankful that the rain has stopped for now. I think it has been something like 25 straight days of rain up until yesterday. Usually on Sundays our drive to church is rather boring. It is a 45 minute drive snaking in and out of traffic, dodging potholes and puddles and not being able to see any scenery due to rain and fog. Yesterday on the otherhand was wonderful! The sun was shining brightly and everything looked green and alive! There were cherry blossoms everywhere and the mountains are looking much more green than white. Flowers are abounding in parks and gardens and it was just a pleasure to drive to church. And everyone at church was in good spirits too. I remember as a little girl how I used to close my eyes and bask my face in the sunlight and pretend it was God smiling on me...and now I'm not so He wasn't! ;) So today being day #2 of beautiful weather, Bekah and I took a stroll through the nature reserve by our house and then went to the park. Here are some pictures (not in order):

I had to take a picture of this house which is on our street but for some reason I've never noticed it before. I thought it sort of looked like a house out of a fairy tale like Hansel and Gretel.
