The green green grass of home is suddenly very much in evidence. The mountain tops are still white but we are enjoying the arrival of spring, some warm days feeling nearly summer, some days chilly, but the forever hope is upon us.
Members of the Syringa chapter of the DUP(Daughters of Utah Pioneers) met this month in the home of Ramona Lower Hatchett in Riverdale. This was their closing social for the year and it was a potluck affair. Julie Westerberg gave a fun lesson about the development of the railroads coming west with some entertaining anecdotes from the past.
Mike and MaryAnn Jepsen had some days with their son Jared and his two sons. The younger Jepsens live in the St. George area.

Eldon and Danita Wilcox spoke in a meeting of the Mink Creek Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to share experiences that they have had this past year as missionaries at the Church Historic Site in Harmony, PA. They conducted tours around the site as well as doing service in the area. Much of their immediate family attended this report. Of course Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox life in Mink Creek, Jeff and Elise Hardy and family are in Ogden, MaKenzie and Tyson Gunter and children of Arimo, Brittany Durrant and her girls live in Sandy, UT. Jenipher, Brigham Wilcox’s wife and children were down from Idaho Falls, but Brigham had to work that weekend. Two of Danita’s siblings were here: Jay and Vachelle Higbee of Perry, UT, and Brad and RaOne Stuart of Bountiful. A cousin, Jay and Joyce Christensen, dropped over from Pocatello. Very nearly an entire “family reunion.”
Hillside wild flowers are suddenly bursting into bloom, the delayed curlies, not too thick, but putting in an appearance, the mule’s ears that cover whole slopes. We’ve had some strong night winds that have snapped off some tree branches here and there, but I haven’t heard of any severe damage.
