Provo River Trail is perfect for Sunday walks. The long, meandering roads are perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Somehow we found out if we walk long  enough that there are horses patiently waiting for the occasional nibble. Carrots are their favorite. In the winter the horses are left outside, with thorns tangled in their wild manes. We can't brush them, but we can feed them carrots.

"No I replied, I just saw some really cool icicles I wanted to photograph,"
"Oh," he replied with a disappointing glance. He rolled his truck window up and drove away while I happily took photos of baby icicles that had formed on the grasses and branches until my fingers were so frozen I couldn't stand it any more.
To me, that is more exciting than birds.

Calvin "stealing" beans from the Mexican restaurant in St. George. I think we all ate an entire Crockpot of beans at the goofy Mexican restaurant.

Calvin surprised me with tickets! He knows I have been wanting to go for years! He is the best husband.

Well, now I actually do.

 Best Bread Ever (really)
*  1/4 c vegetable oil (or olive oil or melted butter)

Pour water, sugar, and yeast into bread machine.

(We're in the big leagues and use bulk yeast instead of those little packets.) Let stand 6-12 minutes until it gets bubbly and frothy. (Calvin lives on the wild side and skips this step. He just dumps everything in.  However, I find this step usually helps reduce the chances of creating a "brick loaf.") Add the remaining ingredients. Use bread cycle and hit start. If you find yourself addicted to making bread you may want to invest in a bucket to hold 25 lbs of flour. We bought 25 lbs of flour for about 7 bucks.
