Happy Easter from the Donaldson Crew. He is Risen!
Happy Easter from the Donaldson Crew. He is Risen!
We just returned from a Spring break trip to Texas. We stayed with our friends the Kerrs at their family ranch in the hill country northwest of San Antonio near Helotes. The ranch is steeped in history and was a blast to be there . We spent the last two days staying in and exploring San Antonio and we were able to make it up to Fredericksburg on our last day before flying out in the evening.
Abbie spent St. Paddy's day performing at many retirement homes in Bend and ending the day at a pub in town. It was a fun day for Abbie and all the dancers.
A few weeks ago LuLu and Papa were visiting and were able to attend Grandparent's Day at school. They took some funny pictures and had a great morning.
Today Hunter’s youth group with Church did a snowshoe outing. It was also exciting for me as it was my first outdoor event since being in the hospital over a month ago. It was a great day.
Today at school was Dr. Seuss Day. Abbie and Hunter dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 and Noah dressed up as the spotted dog from the book "Put Me In The Zoo." It was a fun day!

We finished Abbie’s new shelves today!
Last spring I did some pipe shelving for Noah in his room above his desk. Hunter wanted some as well but we came up with a different design for his. Like Noah’s we used reclaimed barn wood that is over 100 years old giving it a rustic feel with the pipe.
For the last few days we have been socked in with freezing fog. It makes for yucky days that seem to stay the same time all day long. There is almost zero air movement however the fog has produced some amazing frost art creations on all sorts of things outside. There must also be some slight air movement as most of the ice crystals point northward.
And Not just plants... Pic 1 - chain links, Pic 2 - Wind chimes, Pic 3 - wire stuck in the trunk of a Juniper
Today we actually got about 1 hour of partial sun so took some pics with the sun shining
Here is another example of frost art that I found on my car one morning going to work when we lived in Wales.
