Primary Activity

 Saturday, July 12, 2014 we had a ward Primary Activity - here are the girls listening to a pioneer story.
 Joel winning the three legged race!  kind of dragging the younger boy with him!!
 Girls making their edible pioneer wagon!
Pretzels between the round cookies for axles - some of them had elephants and tigers for the oxen!

Latest pictures of our flowers

 This is the rose bush just outside our front door - Dad pruned it almost to nothing when we moved in April - but it came back and has this beautiful bloom ... notice the yellow bud on the side.
 Here is bud blooming and then

 Our hollyhock that we planted this year - pretty blooms and nice leaves for the bugs to eat.
Our front flower bed just keeps getting more and more beautiful - when we weed in the early morning and later in the day at dusk, you can smell the perfume from the flowers - neat!
