My best friend has been in town for a week. It was great seeing her....there is so much to say and not enough words and time to get everything discussed. Sometimes I wish we could be 12 again and play house. She could forget her life for a moment and we could speak of things that were not important. We hiked up to a waterfall. It was about 4 miles round trip and it was beautiful. My sweet Todd made Dutch Oven Rosemary chicken, then we roasted marshmallows and Starbursts (candy) in the fire pit. The dinner was FABULOUS!!!!!
The blue you see in the very back of the picture is the Great Salt Lake.
I was given a hummingbird feeder by my parents for Mother's Day and last week I hung it up outside my kitchen window. The hummingbirds are coming like crazy. I saw 6 all fighting over the feeder yesterday morning. We also have a large yellow bird sneaking some of the nectar. I have no idea what kind of bird it is so if anyone knows let me know. I have never even seen this bird in my yard before and now he is coming all the time for the hummingbird feeders.
(There is a hummingbird in the first picture if you can find it.)
So my friend from Sandy Utah just called and told me it is snowing and sticking to the ground. I think I will cry. We were so patient with our plants. We started everything from seed in February and we waited an entire week after Mother's Day to plant. I am sick with worry for our 55 tomato plants and 90 or so pepper plants. As I sit here typing I can see the rain switching over to
snow right before my eyes. Sniff sniff. I am just hoping it will warm up a bit and switch back to rain soon. I cannot go outside and cover my entire garden. I do not have a large enough tarp. It has rained so much here my basement has flooded twice.... and my heater has been on for 3 days... we are having a slow start to our summer.
