“If we keep no diary [journal], the path crumbles away behind us as our feet leave it; and days gone by are but little more than a blank, broken by a few distorted shadows. Life is all confined within the limits of to-day….”
Getting Mom's new pots ready for her front flowerbed for Mother's Day. This involved getting the dirt transferred out of the old broken-down wooden pots at the Property, and moving them.
Rog had to clean debris out of the creek most everyday for the first part of May.
Mom and I went to the Syracuse Temple Open House.

Zac had to fix a pipe/ power pole that Jeff snagged with his plow.
Then he helped us pull out a shrub in front of Mom's house. Click here to watch it
We started watering the garden
Burned the burn pile before the burn ban on May 31st.
Planted more corn.
Tilled the bottom of the garden to keep it weed free.
Mom's Iris sure were beautiful this year.
We had a great time (and food!) at Jaden and Abby's baby shower. We wish the new parents (and grandparents) well, with new baby Sophie !
I'm almost done with working !! 37 years..........WOW Here I am with Janell and Mitch at WPR (Wasatch Peaks Ranch) for my last "tour" as County Assessor.
I was honored at a Republican Founder's Day Dinner
We planted a new tree in our front yard
I went to the last PUMA user group meeting. These are some FINE friends right here.
Remember what I told you about squash bugs !??!?!
We've been to a few football games in the rain - but not too many.
There was a nice article in the Morgan County News about my upcoming retirement.
Gary Weitzeil took my pic, and I really liked it. It will be my "current" obituary pic (haha)
We got busy............and I got lazy............and then something fouled up with my picture downloads from my icloud phone account into my computer............and then I finally figured it out. So..... I am playing catch-up for the last part of April.
Sometimes when I walk into work at 7am in the mornings, it is absolutely beautiful light !
I caught the YARDMASTERS hard at work at Sarah Swans one morning. It's one of their harder ones.
Mom's iris patch was overrun with grass. We dug it all out with the help of Treyson and Tagg.
Then we went down to the PIT and cleaned it out too.
Getting warm by the fire.
It was time to plant the first rows of corn. Thatcher was a great helper.
Tagg had a mishap, and broke one of his fake teeth off. I can't remember when or what he did, but here's proof of the unfortunate incident.
Mom and Dad - Grandpa and Grandma "D"
Thatcher and Grandpa Jim
One day we decided to clean up a little bit at the far North end of the Property. We put Tagg in Grandpa D's waders (he's the only one whose feet will still fit in them), and he was our CREEK helper.
Rake, Rake, Rake - Burn, Burn, Burn
Treyson trying out the old motorcycle. This used to be Dad's, then Zac and Landon rode it everyday to the mink farm when they were teenagers, working for Marv Dawson. It's been parked for many years.
Here's a still picture of Tagg BEFORE he took chainsaw in hand, and proceeded to cut away (see video)
It's worth the watch - A little scary, a little bit of yelling, a little bit of reassuring.........
CJ brought down Breakfast Burritos for the hard workers.
I finally got my favorite picture BLOWN up, and put in the frame that I painted.......... It will probably take me another year to get it hung :(
Landon received this notice from Weber State University.
No walking and receiving a diploma from the podium with COVID 19 (not that he would have walked anyway)
We are getting TIRED of this COVID 19 quarantine ............. It will be interesting to look back IN HINDSIGHT - and see just who was right.
I know though, that Heavenly Father is watching over us. Good times are ahead.
Thatcher is still practicing gymnastics - WOW how limber is that?!?!
We all gathered on the Courthouse lawn to see the fighter jets from HAFB flyover. They went from HAFB, south to St. George, and back up to Logan before returning to base, to THANK the hard-working healthcare workers who are battling COVID 19 on the front lines.
