7APRIL2013 @ Helena, MT -

The sun rose very pleasantly today yet by noon the rain had started.  Falling off and on, the streets, yard and the top quarter inch of the newly laid sod was soon wetted.  At 1330 I ventured to Lattes and Sundaes (Coffee and more) to attempt my new computer and enjoy some real coffee.  It was a pleasure to get established shortly before an artist's reception began, that artist being Helen Rietz (HLRietz@gmail.com).  The new computer works extremely well and those attending the reception were very pleasant ... and outside the rain got stronger.  By dark, snow was mixed in and eventually the yard was white.  April snows can be either storms (like this one) or, more commonly, showers.  The storms are wonderful ... the best times ever to hunker down and praise God.
