Blues Festival

Here it is the last of May and again Silver City is having another event. The Blues Festival has quite the following with bikers, hippies, (old ones), young and old a like taking part of the Friday through Sunday activities. A large gathering took place each day and the music was pretty good. Sis Lowery said she could listen to it better than Nate King Cole. Well it was pretty good.
WE also went for a ride Sat out to a place called the City of the Rocks which is alot smaller than the one in Idaho. We also went on around to a valley called the Minbres Valley and it had green trees, cotton woods, Pine, and Juniper the stream didn't have much water but the under ground had to be very shallow to have as much greenery as was there.
We took a couple of shots of the Harleys , Rocks, and the closed mine it is interesting what the mind looks like.
Our garden is still coming along with potatos growning and the tomatos having blooms I hope we get some fruit soon.
We also had some good T-stroms and the water gets runing quick down the streets. Cant wait till the Monsoon season.

Garden?

Thought I would show a little of our Garden. We have planted a couple of times cause the birds think we are providing a meal for them. It wouldn't be so bad but they only pull out the shoot nibble on it and not even eat the seed.
WE have learned that plants that are started don't get eaten at least by the birds I think maybe the bunnies and deer will take care of that latter.
It gives me something to do at six am and then at night to see how everthing is going.
Really I don't get up till 6:15.
We are having a great week. the College is done today. The High school is done Sunday. The new Kids are coming on Sunday and we will have a ball.
We had transfers Wed. and Lost Elder Christensen and got Elder Jones. What fun we have.
Love You All
Dad

Closed Mile

Yesterday being Sat. our P-day we went to the races all day plus shopping and baking getting ready for Sunday as we have invited all the graduating seniors from the three wards and two branches to attend today this being Sunday.
Yesterday we watched the different races from different places around the course and this by far is the best for spectators to see more than a small glimps of the race. We don't know who won Levi and Lance were up towards the front when on the second to last lap there was a wreck on the second turn one of the Mellow Yellow Johnny riders went down with a group of others and Armstrong about stopped on stop of the hill by us to see what had happened then on the last lap it happened again on the same spot with one rider really getting his knee hurt when we saw it it had already turned black and blue and had alot of blood still on the leg. He did get up and was able to walk. I don't remember which team he was riding for he was dressed in green.
Well I better get going.
Love Dad
