Week 13

4 November

Here is a close-up of the same tree featured on 26 October. More leaves have turned red, and the green leaves at the center are turning yellow on their way to red, and eventually falling to the ground.

5 November

Today my dear mother turned 89, and my parents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. We always thought my dad was pretty smart to combine those two occasions. All of the local children and spouses, where possible, joined in a celebratory dinner at Leslie Family Tree Restaurant in Santaquin.

6 November

As part of my Relief Society calling, I was asked to attend some training at the Provo Employment Resource Center in the same building as Deseret Industries. It was actually a morning well spent, and I highly recommend anyone searching for a job to register with ldsjobs.org.

7 November

Check that off my list! Marian gave me some fabric to make some pillowcases for humanitarian purposes. Dave’s Bernina and associated stores are trying to collect one million pillowcases this year. I finally got around to making them last night.

8 November

Although the sign is practically illegible in this picture, it does make one wonder why the golden plates are among the “books to be reshelved.”

9 November

BYU has been landscaping what I presume will eventually be a pond—this is just northeast of the botany (duck) pond, on one’s way up the hill.

10 November

This is the area where I had our forsythia bush (tree?) removed earlier this summer. I’ve been trying to kill the shoots with Round-Up, but they still look pretty healthy to me. We’ll worry about grass in the spring.
