Two more.

We borrowed an industrial snow-cone machine from friends for a mutual activity last week.  We haven't returned it yet for good reason.  Want to know a way to keep five kids content and busy for an hour?

It's hard to tell from this picture -- what fer the evidence of successful spring gardening (see that humungo zucchini????  That's on account of the "greenhouse" we built this year) and taking the picture through a window screen -- anyway, I digress with my com-brag --- but Clara is watering the garden and I thought it was very industrious of her. 

Hmm. Well, this crummy picture actually has another story to tell:  Note the graduation tassels Briton used to string peas.  Reminds me of the anecdote about Hugh Nibley praying for forgiveness in an opening prayer at one BYU graduation, because of something along the lines of being assembled, dressed "in the robes of the apostate priesthood."  Here, the honors of man, have found a more useful purpose.
