Sprouts: Part II

 My precious seedlings finally moved outside.  Now, when I look outside my front windows, I see pretty flowers!



I finally discovered the secret to awesome window boxes:  automatic, twice-a-day drip watering... and some quality miracle-grow potting soil!  I've never received these results, EVER, until now.  But, is it really worth the effort?  It took 4-5 months to get to this point!  They'd better last until November, that's all I can say!

As far as the garden goes, not as productive as last year.  I tried steer manuare from the local dairy farm and every thing grew... but few blossoms.  Oh well!  It's the fun that counts, right?!



Love to see the temple!

This really needs to be recorded for posterity.  We went to the Payson Temple open house a couple weeks ago.  I kept putting it off, putting it off, realizing it only went for another week, panicked, and got some tickets.  Thanks to my friend, Debbie, we had someone to hang out with.  Her sisters and their families were there too!

What a beautiful temple!  I didn't mind climbing all those stairs to see the different levels.  All the rooms were gorgeous!  Even the bathrooms were top-notch.  Anna inquired, but I told her to "hold it!"  There was such a special peace within the temple.  I love that through the blessings of tithing, I feel a certain pride in knowing that we contributed to the building of such a place!  Now we just need to plan a trip back!
