Back In Time...


We had a ward service project on Saturday at Pioneer Farms. Many hands helped that day painting the outside of two buildings, weeding gardens, clearing out lumber inside buildings, etc. Afterwards there was a picnic lunch and we got a chance to tour the farm. The farm was so awesome, it brought me back in time. I was in my element with all the antiques, quilts, old buildings, flowers, animals, etc. I could imagine how life must have been back then and how family life was simplier and contained to the farm. Sometimes I wish we could go back to these days where we could have our families close and learn how to work the land...... but then I really don't want to give up my modern conveniences and especially AIR CONDITIONING!! ; )

Flowering Bush...

There's a tall bush growing in the backyard with these pretty flowers growing off the end of some of the branches. I have no idea what it's called but it does smell nice. Does anyone out there know what this is called? I'm curious!!
