We pulled the trailer full of some of Jeff's tools and Grandma Mary's piano. Scott called in a couple of strong friends and the four guys flexed quite a bit of muscle getting it in the house. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture but it is a joy for Jeff & I to see Jayme have & play Grandma's beloved piano. On Saturday, we put the tools to use and helped the kids install all the wood trim in their family room..JPG)
Of course since I am always looking for birds, I spotted this one all puffed up hunting for food under the tree line. I'm thinking veery but I will have to look in my bird book.
By Sunday, the snow was melting and it was a chilly but beautiful, sunny day, so we went to Jay Cooke state park. After all the snow they had up north this winter we could not believe how high and fast the St. Louis river was. This area of the river is known for all these beautiful layers of 45 degree angle rocks sticking up everywhere and now they are all under water..JPG)
The rapids could be heard everywhere in the park and it was a little eerie crossing the suspension bridge with the river roaring underneath us..JPG)
Follow this LINK and the photo above is where Jayme & Scott were pictured sitting, and the photo below is the same spot as the last photo in the link. As you can see only one rock is still above water.
The power of the water was so breathtaking that it made me think of one of my favorite verses...Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea. . .
the LORD on high is mighty.
Psalms 93:4
and he showed us that even in the midst of all this dangerous water, he could make a rainbow.

Wow! Snow! I thought we were done with that but they're saying some flurries tonight. Yuk!!
That Roaring River sure made me nervous, but I loved the rainbow. Your little bird is cute. Nice post.
Oh those water scenes just take my breath away. Don't think I could have done the bridge!! But, your shots of it are just incredible.
Snow, they can have it!! I've had my share.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jayme!!!
EEK! I think they are braver than me in crossing that bridge over the roaring water. Happy Birthday to Jayme!
Snow! Eek! Let it be gone!
Love the pictures.....especially of the rushing water. That bridge is awesome.
