The Sad News

I mentioned in my last post that I had some sad news that happened on Friday.  I wasn't planning on posting about it but I have had several people express concern over that comment so I will briefly explain.

Our next-door neighbors are not only wonderful neighbors and friends, but he (the husband) is the bishop of our ward.  Their youngest is graduating from high school this week.  Their oldest, 25-year-old Jenny, was coming home from BYU-Idaho to attend the seminary graduation on Sunday night and  the high school graduation on Wednesday.  While traveling on the freeway, south of Idaho Falls, her tire blew and she lost control of her car.  The car rolled several times, ejecting her (even though she was wearing a seat belt) from her car.  She passed away after arriving at the Portneuf hospital. 

I saw and heard the grief and pain her family went through when they were informed of her death.  My heart has been grieving for them ever since.  This is a parent's worst nightmare!
The whole family was in church today.  What an example of strength that comes in knowing the plan of salvation and in being an eternal family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Promises

This is a busy week for me.  I haven't had much chance to get on the computer to check my own blog let alone every one else's.  A couple more days and I'll be out and about to see what's going on in your neck of the woods!

See these 13 apricots?  Times that by 10,000 and that's how many are on our tree!  It promises to be a bumper crop!  Hope you'll give me a call in July to get your share of them!

This pear tree is starting to swell with pears.  Unless something "freezy" happens, we should have bushels of those golden orbs.

This tree is promising tons of apples.

The bees are plentiful on the blossoms and helps ensure that promise. 

Although this won't produce fruit, just had to throw this lilac in the mix.  Scratch your screen, I'm sure you can smell it!

My friend passed away on Mother's Day.  She was in her early 50s, and in good health.  Such a shock to everyone, especially her sweet, broken-hearted daughter and grandchildren.

 

This picture symbolizes the promise that I'll see her again.
