Cute Townhome

We purchased a new townhome right behind Edwards theater. It is so cute!
This is the exact one. It is still in the finishing process so I got to pick carpet and paint and tile. It has a covered carport and extra parking with a cute little yard in back and a large common play area. Most of the units are purchased by owners but we will rent this one out. I think I rented it today. There will be landscaping!

MUSHROOMS IN THE GRASS !!

Charlie put this cute bridge in our back yard to connect our yard to the tennis court.
The broccoli really likes the rain!

Idaho Falls has received 3 times the amount of rain in the first 13 days of the month than it usually gets all of June! Yesterday the news said that Palisades reservoir was at 98% capacity. We have had to turn off the sprinklers at home and all the townhomes. Mushrooms were growing in the grass! Every where is a wonderful lush green. We even had to turn the water off the gardens. The plants were turning yellow from over watering. Can you believe this is Idaho in June? It is supposed to be sunny this week-end. YEAH!

Spring In Idaho

Flowering Plum Tree
One of our Garden Boxes almost finished.

Rock waterfall in front courtyard.


See the pretty tulips for a few more days.



Spring is finally in full bloom in Idaho. Charlie bought a wonderful water fountain for the court yard by the front door. It makes a wonderful sound and it is a great compliment to the spring tulips there. Our flowering plums are in bloom which makes the whole yard wonderfully fragrant. We covered the garden when we went to Nauvoo but we still want fresh vegetable and tomatoes. We bought a book about Square Foot Gardening. Charlie built the boxes and we mixed the soil ingredients just as Mel suggested. He promised no weeds and wonderful harvest. We are ready to plant on Monday. Wish us luck. I feel a green thumb growing and Dad found his good luck gloves so we are sure we will enjoy success!

Carl & Carol visited Idaho for a few days. We had a great visit with them and shared some geneology and photos. Carl and Carol have spent alot of time the past couple of years organizing his life history as well as parents and grandparents. He would like me to update our family info and forward to him. I will be calling you. It was great to visit with Carl as he has been reading and researching Church history. I am so greatful for those who withstood the great challenges of the early church to make it possible to enjoy so many blessings. We had a nice dinner and visit with the sisiters.
