Our Happenings







First of all, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year! Today, Jan 20 was a historical day in our beloved country--A new president, the 44th was inaugurated! We watched the swearing in of President Obama. We are hopeful that this will be a good 2009. We approach this year with thanksgiving for all the blessings our Heavenly Father has given to us.

Bob continues to work in the yard. He has planted a variety of seeds in our raised garden bed that I hope you will be able to see in the pictures. Look to the left of the picture and hopefully you will see the raised beds made out of block. Also behind him are some more raised gardens that have not been planted yet. Of course you will see the big pile of dirt (17 cubic yards) that we had delivered to help with the gardening. We had another pile half that size delivered in Oct of last year.

We love the warm weather during the day and it gets so very cool/cold when the sun goes down. We are thankful not to be in snow.


We have also seen other people's gardens who belong to the East Valley Garden Club which we also joined. We enjoy seeing how people manage their gardens and we often bring home cuttings of various plants to add to our garden. We have been planting various cacti in the front and a few odds and ends in the back yard.
