May Showers-Wedding and Snow

What a crazy May we had both in Weather and Activities.
My son Leigh married his lovely bride Ali Wright on May 15th.
There wedding ceremony was performed in the LDS Jordan River Temple with many of our family and friends in attendance. After many days of rain and occassional snow storms, the 15th dawned bright and blue and the day was lovely.
Ali was a beautiful bride and when people would tell Leigh he had quite a catch he commented that "the Lord truly does bless you for all those days of tracting in the rain as a missionary in Jamaica".
We fed 85 people at a luncheon at Golden Corral buffet where everyone was able to eat their fill of everything and anything they could want.
The reception was held up in a church meeting house near Ali's home and many of our friends from Eagle Mountain and West Jordan as well as many relatives came to support us. Thank you so much.
Leigh had managed to keep the honeymoon plans a secret from Ali for the whole time, not telling her until they arrived at the airport. He then wisked her away on a plane to catch a cruise ship in Florida for a 7 day cruise in the Western Carribean. They had a wonderful time.









I have started working in earnest on our garden and got fabric and bark laid all around our new orchard. I then planted a bunch of squash and cucumber starts, waiting until after mothers day and what does it do? SNOW 4 Inches on May 24th. It was the latest snow storm in history at the Salt Lake City Airport. Needless to say my cukes and squashes were toast. My peas, strawberries and onions are still surviving but I will have to replant alot of the other stuff. Oh well, I get a A for effort anyway.
It is great having the kids finally done with school for the summer, they are being alot of help.
