April... Snow?

in

Portland springs are always fun. Last week we had a couple of days that got up to 75. Then yesterday at 2pm it started hailing and snowing. Within an hour it was melted and gone, the sun was shining again. I love the unpredictable nature of Portland Springs!

We were having a day on the town. We had forgotten something at home, so swung back by. Just as we pulled up it started to hail lightly. Elizabeth ran inside while I stayed and took care of Emma. Rat-a-tat on the windows. Soon it was a symphony of little ice chunks hitting the car, road, and surrounding area. It was quite lovely. I pulled out my cell, called into the house and asked Elizabeth to bring out the camera when she came. Afterall, we needed some more pictures of Emma.

When Elizabeth came out, the sun was out and the flower beds were covered with hail balls. I quickly got a picture and off we went, heading for the Children's Museum and a day of fun with Emma. And yes, I did get lots of good pictures of Emma too.
