The other morning on my walk I came across the Hyrum Smith farm home on the outskirts of Nauvoo - out where I live. The red brick part is the original home! This home is also used as a bed & breakfast site that visitors can stay in! Across the street was just a beautiful old barn.

 Here is my companion Sister Brown mowing our backyard! Wish the men would do this for us~! The facilities management people come and mow around the outside, but not this back piece inside the fence - oh well! She says she doesn't mind doing it - good thing, cause you won't find me out there in the chigger filled grass!!! She swears they don't bite her!

 The Nauvoo & British Pageants start next week and everything is being prepared for the performances that last all month. The cast is in town rehearsing, the chairs are being set up and we're just waiting for all of you to come to enjoy the shows and sites!

Looking up at the stage and the backdrop is the temple!

This is the view looking down from the temple to the pageant site. It is a cool, beautiful day today! Huge storm last night
