James and I planted our flowers this morning. James planted and I cleared away weeds and rocks. There are rocks everywhere. Maybe we should have a rock garden. I took a picture of this twig sticking out of the ground because there is a bird sitting on top of it. It seems to be her favorite "roosting" spot.
For lunch I made chicken cacciatore from the Four Hundred Calorie Fix cookbook. James loved it. You are supposed to serve it over noodles but he opted to eat it without the noodles which made it more like a soup.
James was so tired from planting flowers this morning that he took a 3 1/2 hour nap and was almost late for his temple recommend interview in Show Low. I went to a Relief Society activity with Kathy Crane this evening at the park. It was a potluck and I took Tricia's strawberry salad with the homemade poppy seed dressing. One sister liked it so much that she took the empty bowl and scraped it clean. She didn't want any of it to go to waste. Janie Huso, a friend from my former Show Low days, did a presentation on the flag for flag day. We said the pledge of allegiance and sang The Star Spangled Banner. I was talking with Janie after the meeting and she was telling funny stories about her dog. She says when she goes to the valley she always stops to get her dog a burger. He loves Burger King and Wendy's but he refuses to eat McDonald's. Janie has a house in Chandler where her son and grandson are living right now. I used to buy shoes from her Mom and her Dad was a state senator.
After our Relief Society meeting Kathy took me on a tour of Vernon showing me where several families in the ward lives. I am grateful to have a friend and Kathy is a good one. She and her husband Chuck just planted their garden. They have onions, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, and several different kids of peppers. She is famous for her jalapeno pepper jelly.
