It has been a very rainy, wet week. We had severe weather on Wednesday but the bad stuff was all south of us. Steve and I did manage to get some free soil at the Carondelet site on Tuesday to bolster our two raised gardens before all the rain started. Everything in the yard is loving this rain! I have had two asparagus pickings already. My lettuce is coming up. And the redbud tree I got from Emily's front yard back in 2021 (it was a volunteer that needed to be gone) finally bloomed this year!
Steve and I got to watch two movies this week - The Martian on Tuesday and BYU TV had a scrubbed version of The King's Speech so we watched it on Friday. Both very good.
English classes for the Afghanistan folks started on Thursday. It was nice to be back in the saddle.
Steve and I buckled down and did our taxes on Friday. Whew! (and we actually get a refund)
This weekend is General Conference and Elise has been watching with us. She is in St. Louis for the weekend to attend a concert of Voces8 in the beautiful Basilica on Friday and she participated with Emily, Joe, Noah and others on a trivia team on Saturday. They tied for second place!!! Below is a photo of Emily and Elise at the concert.
My conference project has been to wind and sort all the yarn that people keep giving me! The Happy Hooker ladies don't like the "specialty" yarn (fuzzy, nubbly, or fat yarn) so I am the recipient. I have enough yarn to keep me making nifty knitter hats of all sizes for the next six months!
