The day started out good this morning. We watched the morning news, and the MeTV shows.
The eyes of one of the kittens was closed. The kitten struggled to get loose, but Carol persisted and got the eyes opened. In the afternoon I found a dead kitten in the middle bunk of the cat house. It was 3:30 when I called the veterinarian. They close at four. I put the dead kitten in a shopping bag and drove to Fillmore. I got some medicine for the eyes. I came home and opened the garage door. A yellow kitten came out of the garage. I drove into the garage and shut the door. I took medicine into the kitchen. I found out that I had ran over the yellow kitten. I buried the black kitten and then I buried the yellow kitten int the south garden. There is three kittens buried there. One buried yesterday and two buried today.The Life of Merrill and Carol Johnson
I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

Pomegranate
Busy today. I watched the morning news, and the MeTV shows.
I harvested all of the pomegranate seeds.
The heavy storm door leaning against a tree. I had to remove a whole bunch of screws before I could get the door off.
Here the pomegranate cracked open.
I wrapped the dahlias with news paper and plastic and put them in the bucket to store them until next spring.
The were so dry that I put them in a bucket of water.
We drove to Fillmore to remove the insurance on the truck.

Walmart
We took the garbage to the dump and mailed a greeting card at the post office. We then went to the Payson, Utah Walmart. The main reason for this trip was to buy a birthday present for Carol's friend. We also bought a few other things. I wanted to go to the animal hospital for some eye drops for our kittens. We didn't go in the right direction, so we headed for home. We stopped at Wendy in Nephi for some drinks, fry's and a couple of small hamburgers. We then went home.

Sunday
Up at 6:20 this morning. Showered, dressed and turned on the morning news. Fed the cats and kittens,
There are four old frying pans. The photo shows one of the smaller ones. There are three other frying pans. With this new one, all of the cats and kittens have room to eat.
The sacrament meeting and Sunday school were very good. Most of our Sunday dinner was cooked when we got home.

A Good Morning
I was up this morning at my preferred time. 6:20. It was still dark. Turned on the morning news. I was mainly about president elect, Donald Trump and his cabinet selection. I fixed breakfast. We watched the morning EmTV. shows. I checked the oil level in the car. It was down about one-half quart. I had a bowl of clam chowder soup for lunch. At 2:45 Carol got haircut and a perm. She really looks nice. While she was gone, I watched a high school football game. I went out to the shed to start the lawnmower. The battery was dead. I plugged the extension cords and hooked the battery charger to the battery. I went into the house and after 15 minutes. I got some gas.
I removed the charger and backed the lawnmower out of the shed. I filled the gas tank. I then got the compressor and pumped up the two front tires. I began mowing the front lawn and soon filled the bags and the grass shoot. I dumped most of the front lawn grass on the weeds east of the house. I dumped most of the grass in the same area.
After mowing the east lawn, I began mowing the back lawn. The lawnmower acted like the it didn't have any power. I noticed that the mower deck was set at one inch. I set it at two inches. It began to mow again. I dumped the bags many times. I blew the leaves of the patio. I turned off the mower each time I dumped the grass. Each time I turned the ignition key on it acted like the battery was dead. I turned it on and it started right up.Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Pulled Geraniums
I worked quite a long time pulling the geranium plants in the kidney. A sweet potato was my supper. The phone rang and it was Melisa. I had a hard time hearing her. I finally was able to hears her. I gave the phone to Carol. Carol talked to her for quite a while. Lisa was there helping her with her conversation.

Abnormal Day
It was after seven when I woke up this morning. The morning news was already on when I turned on the TV. I started the mush and then fed the cats. I started the mush. It rained and snowed some. After breakfast we watched the morning TV program, Matlock was soon interrupted after the show began. I had some baked squash, and a shredded potato covered with gravy and a piece of toast for lunch. I found a YouTube video showing how I can change the time on our car. I opened the garage door and started the car. I tried many times and finally changed the time to standard time. I updated yesterday's blog. Carol shredded some potatoes and fried them for supper. We also had frozen sweet corn. Both were good. Carol's glasses need some fixing, we put some super glue on the broken part. We will check in the morning,
