Nuisance or Magic?

Mostly dandelions are a nuisance, I know, but sometimes at this stage it's fun to blow and wish. Just not in my yard. 😎

 

Spring Splendor

Dogwood blooms are so fascinating. They look like they're floating.

 

Among the Tulips

The tulip festival in Kearney provided lots of photo ops.

 

Living the Fairy Life

These fairies have their own screen in porch. These displays make my walks so interesting.

Always Squinting

Easter April 14, 1968. I never think of Ingrid as being short but she seems quite a bit shorter than Susan and I but then maybe she stood in a hole. 😁

Poetry Walk

Colin wanted to see the Poetry Walk signs along the sidwalk in Strang Park. We were headed to the playground but had to take this detour. (It is the same poem on the other side.) The Poetry Walk is provided by the Johnson County Library during April, which is apparently national poetry month.
 

Eclipse Viewing

It wasn't as cool at the total eclipse but fun to experience. We even had cookies for the event.

 

Eclipse Practice

Vala tried on her solar eclipse glasses in preparation for today.

 

New to the Pool

Lowell and Vala had their first swimming classes of the season so were recognized at the door. Both are still wet from their swim but did well.
 

Spidey Twins

Adam and Vala were excited to find themselves both wearing Spider-Man shirts.
 

Splash with Me

Water tunnels, slides and water fountains made for a fun time at Lenexa Rec Center for Adam and Lowell.

 

That 70s Look

Easter photo from 1973. It appears we've changed out of our Easter finery. We have Jaryl in the middle.
 

Learning and Exploring

Colin and I visited the Overland Park Arboretum to learn about making a seed pod with milkweed seeds. That took about a minute so we braved the freezing wind to see the trains, which of course weren't running. He had a grand time.

It may have been cold but it looked like spring!

 

Morgan Pew Heading to a New Home

The pew we Morgans have sat in for 60 years is moving to a new home on the Fergusons side porch. Renovations to the Colonial sanctuary include new pews so it's nice to have Hayden adopt our piece of history. You can see the scratches from Dad's years of fidgeting.

 

Happy Easter!

A beautiful Easter day. The kids and cousins participated in the Children's Conversation.

And of course family lunch.
