The 24th of July is a Utah holiday, honoring the Mormon pioneers, my ancestors. We went on a trek to a local mountaintop, Francis Peak, my mother Esther used to look up at from her living room window...
Learned that is was named after
a Mormon pioneer woman,
Esther Francis - who knew?
After enjoying a hike and the cool mountain air, we visited the old family home resting at the foot of this mountain , and harvested some apricots, in the tradition of the pioneers, and my dear mother Esther.
