Well, it’s been a busy week.
As is the tradition here at the farm, after school grad is over, the next week end we do cleanup. All the trash and treasures that hv accumulated during the winter and have been (thankfully) buried under the snow, come to light! and so...
one....
must...
DO CLEANUP!
So that's what we did...
Clean up day went really well. I don’t know all that was done; I helped clean up around the tab around. I know the old water ram by the spring and bridge was taken down. A couple of the crews went out to the gravesites and cleaned up those areas a little. They still need some help, but at least they got that going.
It was burning hot till we decided to plant the garden. A wind blew up bringing a lot of flying dirt, but, later it brought a soft drizzly rain which we needed for the garden. We’ve had cloudy weather ever since with a small amount of rain.
Bro Rus and Wendy and Kathy Casey passed out six pack after six pack of flowers one afternoon. I planted a few of my flowers today and hope to finish some another day...girls want more flowerbed problem is, they’ll forget about them after today. Guess who will get to water them?
Garth and Kim went to Sapa for the weekend.
Sam Geyer’s mother in law is out visiting Geyers for the weekend. Rob is enjoying their little boy who has a head of bright read hair, reminds me of myself when I was that age!. Pity none of my kids have the red hair gene...oh well, mebbe it'll turn up in my grandkids.
Ann VanderHart went to Ohio for 10 days to attend her nieces graduation. She left Merlin and Cathy Purdy and her dad caring for her three boys. They do seem to be faring okay!
There are some pictures of the school picnic and of the clean up day at these links, if you are interested.
So far this week it has been raining quite a bit. We put in the garden but it was nasty and gray. I guess the rain has dampened down the fires somewhat.
PatLou and Beth called. Pat on his way back from the large Toklat fire outside of Nenana. Both sounded upbeat and happy. Said he was gonna have a few days off and see Beth and then go out again. Probly out of state too. Praying for safety as always.
Have set up the pool outside and Rob has been enjoying it with Annie. She now sleeps in the tent she sets up in the backyard, which has become a tradition with her every summer. I cannot sleep with that much light!
Summer school has started for Rob and am hoping to get him through his Science, Social Studies, Math, Reading and Typing. Hoping for a Grade 3 curriculum next year using Bob Jones which he seems to do well with.
My sister Karenza Hanson who has lived in Gibraltar and Spain for the last few decades is finally making her move back to the US. More opportunities and financial openings for her. She will be moving to the Tesis' place in TX. Praying for a smooth transition for her. Her heart will always be with the Spanish speaking brethren so I know it is a hard move for her.
May has thoroughly dived into her life here at the farm. After 5 months away galivanting around Europe with her aunt (my sis K) she is enjoying her new nitch here. Nothing big is planned as far as I know, she is just filling in where needed as is her custom.
A Fire chopper Bell2 212 landed on our air strip. There was too much electricity in the air for their liking. Of course the pilot, an older man and a Christian, invited all the little guys to climb into the chopper and explained how it worked. Rob was actually the first one there cause I was working at the school and saw the
chopper flying down, it was so low I thot it was in some kind of trouble and was gonna crash on the school roof or something! Anywayz the boys esp. had a grt time and the fire crew was pretty nice to Rob, giving him MRE's (yuk!) and generally being friendly an open with him....shaking hands, etc. which is something he really enjoys...
Blessings to all.
