June in the desert!

The month of June represents the end of the school year! This makes for 3 happy young men at the Greer home!!!

With summer, we greet, rattlesnakes, chores, more rattlesnakes, lots of desert heat, scorpions, cactus' prickles, scout camp and more rattlesnakes. (eeeeeeck!!!) Luckily the hero of the family (Les) has beheaded 2 with his bare hands (and the help of his trusty-always-with-him pocket knife) right in front of a trembling Dee!!! What a great man! :o)

For family home evening a few weeks ago, we planted 40 tomato plants, peas, green beans, squash, cucumbers, melons and corn. Oh and LOTS of sunflowers. We hope to see the fruits of our labors in a few months.


Meanwhile, we are thoroughly enjoying the apricots from our orchard! We have eaten many and made quite a bit of jam. Peaches and pears are next!!!!
