Unexpected visit

W. had to come home to renew his driver's license so I got to see the cute couple before they depart for a year in Japan. It happened to be his 27th birthday so we celebrated with a flag cake, appropriate for a July birthday. I'm off to Special K's house tomorrow to await the new arrival.

Quaking Aspen Park

There is nothing like a sale!! We were at D & B the other day and they had their plants and trees on sale for 50% off. By the time we left, we had 25 Quaking Aspen trees, 12 holly plants for ground cover, and 5 containers of fountain grass. So guess what we have been doing for the last few days. I had just planted 4 fruit trees in this same location a few days before, but the Quakies looked better there so up came the fruit trees and went on the east side and here I am digging the last hole.

The last tree goes in the ground.

This morning I woke up at 4:30 and decided since I was awake I might as well go fishing. Fran got up too and brought Charlee and we went to the Richfield Canal. When we got there Lonnie and Dad were already there, but guess who caught the biggest fish. It is the biggest trout I have caught. It weighed 3 pounds and 5 ounces.

Don't forget Charlee

I think Charlee looked cute wearing her backpack. She accepted it quite well.

Jarbidge

This is the beginning of the trail into the Jarbidge mountains. Fran and I went last week and looked it over and Thursday-Saturday I went on a hike with the Bishop, Dean Bingham, and two boys from the priest quorum. It is a beautiful area. My perception of Nevada is forever changed.
This a long range view of the mountains. I hope to have pictures of the hike later.
