PANSY-Viola X wittrockiana

June 12 - Today was my R. S. lesson on talents.

Today was my lesson on developing our talents.

It went well and I had lots of participation which is good.

Everyone loved my lilac boquet.  It really smelt good also.

NOODING THISTLE;  MUSK THISTLE-

Carduus nutans

We just got a letter from Teton Valley saying if we have any of

these noxious weeds on our property we must destroy them.

The thistle is Scotland's countrys flower.

I don't think I will be killing any of them in the near future.

June 11-Stayed at home while the others went to cabin

Look how nice our maple tree is this year.

The maple leaf is so distinctive.

The lilacs are in full bloom by the road.

And they smeel so good.

ALPINE ARNICA-Arnica angustifolia

June 10 - Soup kitchen

I got up at 5 this morning and started the washing.

Then I made two big batches of soup.

I had 3 whipped topping containers full of hamburger soup and

3 containers of potatoe soup.

It is for tomorrow at the cabin.  I made bread also yesterday.

WESTERN MOUNTAIN-ASH--Sorbus scopulina

June 9 Shelfs are painted

When I got up at 6 AM I took my dirty clothes out to the porch

and noticed that the garage light was on.

Low and behold, Becky was out there painting the shelf.

She works way to hard.

Today she really cleaned out the Den.  Hopefully she

will show you a picture on her blog.

Thanks again Becky.

It is hard to believe how fast the small tree in the front of the house

has blossemed out.  It is very pretty.

PACIFIC ASTER-Aster chilensis

June 8-Becky and Dad finishes shelfs

It is a good thing Becky has the patience to deal with her Dad.

He just gets mad if I say anything.

Becky had to screw in a lot of screws.

Becky is busy putting the primier on the shelfs.

After she gets all of the shelfs primed she will have to paint them.

I think she will paint the the blue she used on the shed door.

It will be a lighter blue than at the cabin, but it should be okay.

Thanks for all of your help Becky.

The butterfly is just a little extra touch.

CANADA GOLDENROD-Solidago canadensis

June 7- Will it work?

Dad and Becky are looking at the shelfs to be.

I'm sure Dad and Becky will finish it tomorrow.

We hope it will hold all of the shoes from the family outside the door.
