Sometimes Blogging is like Home Teaching

It comes late in the month with no appearant reason for the topics or discussions or reports.

Some times it is not. This is where you, the reader, get to comment out loud about your particular feelings on the subject.

This is where I, the writer, get to pontificate on various happenings and whims.

We had a Ward canning activity a couple of weeks ago. It is always quite a bit of work, but in a really good way. It brings fathers and children closer, even if closer means the back of one's head, and the open side of an other's palm. just kidding.

Coordinating and organizing. Sister Legere, Provident Living Leader, did a wonderful job, and kept all of us in line as we worked throughout the day. This is a a very demanding calling, and one that requires lots of planning and patience.

After the May long weekend, it is generally a good time to start planting. This year we added a bit to the old walnut cart from California. The new impatiens will fill in nicely and spill over the sides of the cart as the summer progresses. With days of sunshine approaching 20 hours per day, it should not be too long now. The day lillies and the lilac are already quite happy with the warmer season.
