We’ve had some beautiful, hot weather; today, at 1:45 pm, it was 80°. The leaves are beginning to pop on the birch trees, the lilac bushes are putting out buds, and the grass is slowwwwllly turning green. The creek is high, but not too high yet.
School is finally out! We had a fun end of the year picnic in Wendy and Jeni’s yards. We usually go to the creek or to the Johnson River, but at the time, they were both frozen over.
I meant to take pictures of the greenhouse before Wendy took all the flowers out; I forgot. Anyway, the greenhouses are beautiful and full of warmth and flowers and vegetables. Rus and Wendy handed out flower baskets yesterday afternoon. May thinks we can plant the seeds soon, on time, shockingly, and the transplants early next week.
Lizzie moved to Delta last Friday to live with Chris and Bekah. She has a couple of part time jobs and is looking for something more full time. She plans to go to college in the fall and has been accepted already and has received a couple of scholarships.

Robin has used his new pop up pool for the first time, he was pretty happy about this! For les than $20 at Walmarts these pools are a great way to stay cool without denting your wallet, plus easy to clean and maintain. If you take care of it they can last for a number of summers. The creek is really high and dangerous so we are constantly reminding all the kids not to go near it until it subsides a bit.
Pat Lou is working at the elite hotshot PIONEER PEAK HOTSHOT CREW.He is also their backup Medic. He has gone on a few fires already and many more to come. I am planning in visiiting the girls and Beth in a few week, Wenda Lawrence will drive and then go on to visit her relatives further down the road in Eagle.

Tonight we skipped service to work in the raspberry patch, cleaning up the old canes and pruning. We’ll need to work in the raspberry patch again before it is ready for the summer.
I guess we’re cancelling church this coming Sunday to have our cleanup day. We had to put it off so long because we couldn’t even see the ground in order to clean it. Happily, now, we can see the ground.
I think Allyson and Jon with a person from Tok are conducting an ETT class startingtomorrow through Sunday.
Al looks like he’s doing pretty well. He’s been going out and doing his normal errands like he used to.
Luca Casey was moved to the Anchorage hospital due to some serious internal problems. I haven’t heard any reports, but I think that in this case, “no news is good news” – he must be improving.
