The ditches that bring water to our
farmers' fields are flowing. Lin McKay, operating his backhoe, has
been grooming, cleaning out, preparing the canals that run through
this community so that they can adequately carry that much needed
liquid in the right directions.
Our high school youth involved in
Track and Field events are literally off and running this spring.
Andy McKay takes on the high jump, the 4x2 relay, and the 100 and 200
yd sprint. Walter Iverson works on the 110 and 300 hurdles and the
pole vault.
Mink Creek also has youth
participating in America's favorite pastime. Ty Beardall plays 3rd
baseman and pitches for the PHS baseball team. Abigail Janke is the
center fielder for the PHS softball team.
Josh and Lizzie Greene, with son
Bently, have moved from their home on Capitol Hill in Mink Creek.
We are missing them. They are currently living in Fairview, ID.
Joe and Kathy Jarvis recently had a
family get-together. One thing fairly certain, there would be
conversation about their beautiful experience in Johannesburg, South
Africa. This sort of thing makes an impact that lasts a lifetime.
Jacob and RaNette Free and their
children had a weekend of fun at the home of his parents, Richard
and Vickie Fee. It is always nice to have these extra hands for the
goings-on at the Free ranch.Jacob and RaNette are from Pinedale,
WY.
Our domestic and wild fruit trees have
been heavily laden with blossoms. The recent warm spring rain seems
to have dissolved them. The local bees have been very busy with a
steady humming heard at any spot close to the trees.
This morning there was snow on our
mountain tops. The clouds have hung down around them like wreaths.
Rain again during the night, chilly, but all is still green and
looking forward to some warmth on the morrow. The birds seem to think it is spring and the dampness doesn't discourage them. We even have a couple of new wild geese families in our neighborhood. Those little goslings are not much more than a ball of fuzz., but cute. By the way, geese parents are very protective.
Mothers' Day was celebrated in the
usual fashion and visitors abounded. More details on that score in
next week's column. College graduation from Utah State brought a few
more people in this direction.
