Spring at Last!

Spring City, that is. After the last several weeks of unpredictable weather (80 degrees one day, snow the next), we're still not bold enough to announce that spring has arrived. But we did spend the last day of "spring" break in Spring City, Utah.
Spring City is a beautiful old Mormon settlement town with a population of about a thousand and it still preserves a great deal of vernacular architecture from the 19th century. The LDS chapel is a beautiful building: it's been lovingly maintained. The town has become something of a haven for Utah artists and quite a few have moved here. If it weren't an hour's drive away from work, it would be a great place to live.

On the way home we stopped at Red Ledges up Diamond Creek Canyon. It's like a miniature version of southern Utah in our own backyard (maybe 20 minutes from our house). We had a good time climbing around and exploring (well, you might not think that if you click on the picture of Eva at left. She has a look of sheer terror on her face. Michelle, good photographer that she is, made sure she snapped the photo before helping her down!)
