May 19, 2015

           Graduation is looming in the lives of several of our youth. Donning Preston High official robes will be two young men and five young ladies: Justin Longhurst, son of Sheldon and Candy Longhurst; James Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird; Claire Jepsen, daughter of Kerry and Melinda Jepsen; Brooke Corbett, daughter of Shane and Sherrie Corbett; Tawni Hall, daughter of Brett and Kristi Hall; Haylee Hatch, daughter of Sam and Katie Hatch; Lizzie Green, daughter of Dale and Charity Wallentine, wife of Joshua Greene.
            It is needful to mention a correction from a past blog where it was claimed that Jesse Parker was a senior, I am happy to report that he is only a junior. It means we get to keep him for one more year.  I am sure the PHS baseball coach feels the same way, Jesse is fun to watch on that pitcher's mound.
            Travis and Amber Arnout of Logan, and their family of four small children were up to spend a weekend with his parents, Mark and Karen Arnout. Jacob and RaNette Free and their two youngsters came over from Pinedale, WY, from for some time with his parents, Richard and Vickie Free.
            The chokecherry blossoms are providing a lovely perfume right now. There seems to be chokecherry trees everywhere. In my own neighborhood they are close by north, east and south, a little more sparse in the western direction. Every hillside seems wrapped in the golden color of mules' ears flowers.
            Ty Samuel Beardall, son of Kent and Tammy Beardall, was ordained to the office of priest in the LDS Ward recently. Two brothers came to assist in this event. Shawn and Callie Beardall and their four children drove from Spanish Fork, UT. Mikel Beardall brought his fiance, Rebecca Frandsen to be part of the family group.
            Jacobi Johnson, grandson of Phee and Robert Crosland was ordained a teacher. He also had out-of-town family visitors. Malia and Jason Kunde and their children from Rigby, ID, and Giovanni and Kristina Crosland and family from Franklin, ID.

             We are having duck weather. Rain, rain, and more rain. No sprinkler pipes being moved across farmer fields right now.  Snow has returned to many of our mountaintops. The snow has never left the mountain peak next to the Mink Creek Steeps, but the others have appeared bare from this ground floor view. A ride up the canyon reveals that there are still snow piles hidden among the pines as one gets near the summit by Copenhagen road. As always, please be aware of the deer moseying about near Highway 36. No matter the elevation the deer inhabit this area.
