Fruit Trees

We were very blessed on Saturday to get FREE fruit trees! All is took was a whole lot of manual labor. The church purchased about 250 acres of an existing orchard not too far from us, and they are in the process of removing all of the trees in order to plant new ones. (pear, I believe) So, we grabbed our shovels and with the help of Bishop Neal, we dug 8 trees in about 2 hours - 3 cherry and 5 globe peach. We planted 2 peach and 1 cherry in our yard, and the rest were spread out to several other homes. What a blessing! These trees would have been VERY expensive at a nursery!

And then, of course, the weather changed. (As it always does in Idaho.) Sunday after church we had this wonderful scene! It snowed about an inch or so, then the sun came out and it all melted in about an hour. Go figure!
