Great fun yesterday...Thanks everyone! We love you.

OK, Sarah, here are the pics! I hate posting them on the

blog because the pictures show up in reverse order from

how I post them, and I have not been able to organize

text to match the pics. But here goes anyway! (You see, I

typed this first, then posted...and the text is at the

end of the post! GRRRRR!)

Cool! I've been blogging for a year. Not great at it, but I have preserved some memories that will be precious one day.

I love you all,

DAD

Hunting, Gathering, and Feasting

We had a great meal tonight. Dove breasts, cheese, and peppers wrapped in bacon and skewered with fresh sweet onions. All but the bacon and the cheese were either hunted or gathered! I love this time of year -- I love to hunt, I love to garden, I love to cook, and oh yeah, I love to eat!

Prepped and Ready

Sizzling

Ready to Eat!

On the Plate!

It was delicious and didn't last long. Going out after some more meat in the morning!!!

Bon Appetit! Love you all, DAD

Hey, y'all, check out pics from Nauvoo on Facebook. Since I haven't really figured out how to post a good photo essay on this blog, I used facebook. I'd still like to be able to post a narrative with pics placed appropriately in the text...but that's still a mystery to me. It should be much easier...more intuitive.

Love you all,

DAD

Hey, guys. Check out Facebook. It's so much easier for me to post pics there. I really need a lesson (Emily) in how to post pics on the blog. I really want to...and will do it when I learn how to do it right. Help!!!

Love you, DAD

Potatos coming up.

Green beans peeking through (focus, dude!)

First blades of corn.

Snow peas up for spring.

Hens, chicks, and more baby petunias.

Here are a few recent pics. First is a picture of the garden, just planted...we're watering in the seeds.

Next are some pics at Holly's house on Sunday. We were there for her setting apart as the new RS Pres in her ward.

And here are some of Hannah washing her new car...before she leaves for Bear Lake for the summer.
