Easter in AZ, AMI, Visit from the Adamzes; Mel graduated, Bismarck is flooding; The sun also rises...

Because the authorities are asking people not to drive around looking and taking pictures, mine are from the bridges as I drive, and not very good.

And praying for people up and down the river, and all over the country. And all over the world.
The sun will rise, and troubles will ease. But it may be a very long time. This is a time for faith.
