Spring weather is always entertaining and this week has brought out the best of the season. We have had rain, hail, thunder, lightning and spots of sunshine this week. During a very sunny and bright morning today I took a few photos of spring popping out all over. Stillwaters Estates is most beautiful this time of year!
Quote of the Week:
Awake, thou wintry earth –
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, “An Easter Hymn”
