Justin, Anna and Luke and Eleanor Marie

Newly planted garden

Jon and Jan have been experimenting with soil and planting methods to see if they will have a bumper crop of veggies this year.

Easter April 2014

Easter Sunday was a beautiful day.  After church we assembled at Jon and Jan's house for an egg hunt, egg salad sandwiches and a ham/lamb dinner later on.

Spring blossoms in our yard

Sadie and Charlotte helped me decorate the Easter Egg Tree!

Lane, Debbie and Jared visit us

We had a delightful time with our Utah visitors.  Plenty of round the table talks, family dinners and enjoyment of the beautiful weather.

2014 winter scenes in February

Behold!  We hired a gardener to come and prune our fruit trees and citrus trees.  We now have our persimmon, peach, plum and pomegranate trees ready for spring blossoming.  Our citrus trees are also thinned out and ready for the coming year!  Yeah!  Our tulip tree is blooming and sending ton of petals on the sidewalks and lawn.  It is a good thing it is so beautiful!
