Easter Adventures...

Below, April 1st dawned warm, springy...the birds twittering in the trees...flowers budding...the sunshine sparkling in the fresh dew...yeah.

So, over Easter weekend, we went south-- again. Wildman had a friend ask him to prune his trees...and B&B were kind enough to let us stay in their home... again.

...and hiked up the local cinder cone.

Notice the happy faces and cheerful countenances? Me either.

But the views of Snow Canyon were spectacular!

The wind was mighty, the cold was biting...but there! See it? a smile!

At the summit! They loved seeing the extinct volcano!

More views of Snow Canyon...

Flowers growing in lava rock...

The next day we got up early and decided to go for a drive to see Sand Hollow...we'd never seen it before. It didn't take long.

Then on the way back to B&B's, we stopped at a park in St. George...a natural playground!

Of course there was a storm...but we saw this rainbow from the back patio...

And then home again! We were going to stop at the Meadow Hot Springs, but the hail and wind were a bit discouraging. Below: Willard Peak in Clouds...

And looking North-ish in Sardine Canyon, at the Wellsvilles.

Thanks again, B & B for the great hospitality! You guys are the best!
