A Pathway Paved with Miracles

Today the Elder's Quorum (I saw a few High Priests as well) of the Park Ward came over and worked in the yard. They trimmed trees, hauled away branches, leaves and trash and got the yard ready for winter by removing the volleyball net and poles and the pump off the big waterfall. They trimmed all the water folage by the pond and cut the tops off the allergy-inducing bunch grass. I can actually look out and see the fishpond now! The Riddles have come over two different times and spent hours hauling and cleaning and Shon R. graded the horse pasture that Carol Homer has diligently sprayed for months. Two weeks ago the students and teachers from Elementary II and the Middle School of the Riverton Montessori came and weeded flowerbeds like crazy. Those kids know how to work!! It was perfect timing because the following day (in the rain I might add) the 21st Singles Ward showed up with tools, tractor and energy to load tons of topsoil mix in all the flowerbeds. They pulled one stump from a dead tree that Joseph and Lafe had cut down--it took two diesel trucks to pull it out! We are so very grateful. The man-hours put in our yard in the past month is well into the hundreds and you can certainly tell by looking at it. I am sure the neighbors would tell you it looks better than it has in about five years! A deep heart-felt thank you to each of you who spent time in our yard. It looks beautiful.
