Susan and I spent Easter weekend in the Tioga/McGregor area with my sister Sandy and our dad. Here are some pics:

Sandy serves as musician for several area churches, including First Lutheran in Tioga. We joined her for Easter morning service.
Before the service, the women of the church served a breakfast in the fellowship hall--so we arrived early and enjoyed a meal first.
We had spent the day before with Sandy. She lives on the family farm where we grew up. Note the Easter treats that she had waiting for us!
We enjoyed playing with her friendly cats.
Cool pattern of shadows on the deck.
The evergreens in front of and behind the house and surrounding the yard are the only signs of green so far.
Well, I guess there is a little green coming up in the yard, too.
Sandy took us out in her side-by-side (UTV) to explore the countryside.
When I was a kid, our dog and I used to "explore" and play in the pastures, tree rows, and hay fields of our farm. Might not look too exciting here, but this was one spot for many adventures during my childhood.
When we slowed down to take photos, we scared away the waterfowl from this creek north of the farm.
Pretty early-evening sky.
