Temple Square

 
We have been eating outside for lunch.  The weather is absolutely gorgeous.  This is a nice patio  by the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  The bees really like it here also.




 
The tree lighting workers are busy getting ready for the Christmas lights.  We have been watching the workers do this since August.  The bottom big tree is completely covered with lights from the trunk to the tips of the branches.  One day I walked under this tree as a worker in a big cherry picker was putting lights up and a sign said "Beware of falling objects!"  This tree is covered with prickly pods.  This is the main walkway to get from the Tabernacle to the JSMB. 
 
 
This is another place we eat our lunch which is right by the library.  The bees are not here.  I know Boyd is in the shade but he was too warm!  I was in the sun by my bag before taking this picture. I was trying to thaw out from B1.  Sometimes the library is so cold. 
 
 
 
 
This is what we look at when we eat lunch by the library.  This vegetable garden has been quite productive with tomatoes, onions, peaches, watermelon, zucchini, etc.  The pumpkin vine on the far left was taking over the patio so they cut it way back.  It had a lot of tiny orange ornamental pumpkins.  I was so tempted to pick a few but I resisted. 
Now I wonder who got them!!!
The 1 room cabin in the background is one of the 1st two cabins built in the valley.  It  isn't very big but I am sure they were grateful to have a roof over their heads. 
 
 
Went to the Spoken Word this morning in the Tabernacle.  We like it much better in the Conference Center.  These benches are very hard and the sound is not as good. 
But,we are grateful to be able to attend so often.
