Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

June 2012 Newsletter


Summer is here at last! Hot summer days and warm evening, crickets and frogs singing in the night, a dip in the pool or river, and the smell of fresh cut hay. With all this balmy weather also come fresh fruits and vegetables. We are so blessed to have an abundance of fruit growing on the trees. What an opportunity to fill our shelves with home bottled food. Let us enjoy the work the gardens and orchards bring and pray for a bounteous harvest. Be sure to make the garden and bottling a family affair. There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes with being a part of producing and canning your own food! If you haven’t done so before, or for a long time, this is a great summer to give it a try. 
Have a happy summer!
