The Tree That Was

I have written about the large Walnut tree in the backyard. It has provided many years of shade for this lovely house but all good things must come to a end and so it is with the tree.

How Does My Garden Grow Chapter 3

The front yard has 5 rose bushes. They had very tight buds on them before we went to Idaho and when we returned 5 days later they were in full bloom. I love to sit on the front porch and smell the roses and the hanging petunias. I love the beauty of flowers and their wonderful smells.

It has been so fun to see how fast the vegetables grow. See how big the cabbage is getting.

Look how tall the lettuce and peas are getting. The peas have blossoms on them and some of the lettuce went to seed while we were in Idaho. Tonight fresh salad from the garden.

T-Ball

Carter and Braeden played T-ball this year and Joe and I got to see their last game. It was so fun watching them. The kids on the team are 3 to 6 years old so you can imagine their attention span. Carter is walking out to the field. All the kids stand in the center of the field in one big group.

Carter running to first base.
Braeden always ready to pose for the camera.
Batter up--Braeden.


Carter decided that he wanted to play in the dirt instead of playing ball.

Tanner and Coleman are getting a little bored.

Moving Day(s)


We were in Idaho this past weekend packing up our stuff to bring to Salt Lake City. We have an offer on our house so felt like we needed to get as much done as we could. Alice and Jeff and the boys came up to help and were a huge help. I don't know how we would have got it done without their help. Even the the two big boys helped carry small items out to earn extra WII minutes. Alice and I decided that we needed to have some time limits or they would play all day long. Carl also helped and engineered the loading of the truck so we could fit as much as possible in. He did a great job, I couldn't believe how tight he was able to get every thing in. He also got two friends to help on Monday.
While we packing it was fun to look out side and see our pheasant who kept strutting around the back yard and clucking away. I love to hear him. It is only the male who makes the noise and it is quite loud. Pheasants are very territorial. We didn't see any of his female friends.
