Peach Pie

I made a fresh peach pie. Does that mean summer is almost over? Peaches usually ripen at summer's end.

I heard the school bell ring this morning at the Jr. High behind our house. I think that's a good indication summer's winding down. We had a good one once again.

It usually starts with the Memorial Day weekend and we celebrate Becky and Allie's birthday with a backyard dinner, presents, birthday cake, homemade ice cream and lots of family.



Little Emma came for a visit with her mom, sister, and brother. She's cute even with lunch on her face!

Bernell and I had fun once again with the friends from Payson driving through the beautiful Canyonlands area. Going over Elephant Hill still makes me nervous after all these years.
Yard work kept me busy with the lawn mowing and weeding but I enjoy doing that over housework. I love flowers and all the green trees that come with summer. My brother, Ken, got a riding lawn mower this year for his birthday. He said he ended up driving it all the way home from the store after he bought it!
Another birthday celebration. This time for Lori. Happy Birthday!
Bernell's birthday and father's day came on the same day so we had another backyard celebration. Lots of grandkids with cute homemade cards wished him well.
He's a great dad and his four daughters love and appreciate him. How lucky we are to have you!
This backyard volleyball activity was in the huge backyard of Julie and Todd's place. Another birthday, Jonah's, was celebrated along with lots of our family and Todd's family.
Backyard gathering eating BQ sandwiches. Nice to have Julie and Todd back in Utah so they can do these things with us, too.
I'm so lucky to have great sisters and a wonderful brother. By the way, Annette's birthday was in June, too, along with Ken, Lori, Bernell, LaRae, and Jonah.
I really enjoyed the short trip with Bernell to St. George so we could see a couple of musicals at Tuacahn. They were great!
On the 4th of July, we went to Lynda and Joe's. Ava and Liam looked cute in their flag shirts. Ava found the chip bag and helped herself to the salty treats.
The grandkids got a kick out of seeing Grandpa riding the Ark float dressed up as Noah. They waved as he went by yelling, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!" What fun.
Ahh, summer wouldn't be summer without a parade......
.......or without a day at Lagoon.
This was the day Ava and Liam made their debut on Bulgy the Whale. They didn't quite know what to think of it.
.... Isaac, and Jonah..... driving away....


Love the flowers at the church office grounds.



Today I ate a piece of fresh peach pie.

.......Yes, I guess summer is almost over......
