Just when we thought spring had sprung....


Easter Sunday woke with beautiful blue skies and glorious sunshine streaming through the windows. Nik and Austin came in early searching for their baskets hidden the night before by the Easter Bunny. (Yes, they know the truth, but love to play along) After searching high and low, and getting a few hints, they found their baskets along with their brothers' baskets. They had so much fun searching they just had to go wake up their older brothers, who were trying to sleep in and got them up to search for their own baskets. After a wonderful sacrament program and much Easter candy, the day ended in all it's glorious spring splendor. According to Elko tradition, we have this saying; "Elko has 2 seasons, Summer and Winter". We definitely followed tradition. Monday came in cloudy and cool, Tuesday was the same until afternoon when the rain and wind started up, then Wednesday hit with four inches of snow. My tulips and daffodils bowed over from the weight of the snow. A day later and the snow is gone but the daffodils are still hanging their heads.
