Snow

Normally we would be at the Timpanogos temple today.  Carol is feeling better but not well enough to go to the temple.  We probably would have stayed home because it was snowing, |It was snowing lightly all day long.  This afternoon I went out the greenhouse five. There were two cats on the heating pad.  I watered the tomato seeds.  No germination so far.  I ordered a hundred geranium seeds.  They were a mixed color.

Another Try

Yesterday I worked for more than an hour getting a Mavrik card endorsed.   After lunch I worked on it again.  Partial success came quickly but I wasn't able to complete it.   I gave up and may try it again tomorrow.  Early this evening I went out to house five.  There were two cats laying on the tray containing the tomato seeds.  

This how it looked when I left it yesterday afternoon.  I covered it with a light web tray.
There are cat tracks all over the tray.  I covered it with a short stack of heavy trays.

Late

Carol is feeling a little better this morning.  This afternoon I turned the water on at the greenhouses.  I watered the tomatoes that I planted yesterday.  I then turned off the water.  After lunch I was on the phone with a credit card lady trying to get my Maverik card registered.  I was on the phone with her for over an hour.  We didn't get it done.  I gave up and told her that I was tired and would try again tomorrow.   This evening, I went back to the greenhouses and turned the water on a little bit.  I also called Dave Dallen and got an appointment to do income taxes.  At six tomorrow.

Planting Tomatoes

Carol is beginning to feel a little better. She showered and did her hair.   After breakfast we watched the MeTV shows. The fridge was empty, so I drove Fillmore and bought a bunch of frozen dinners.  Carol made cheese and baloney sandwiches for lunch.

After lunch I gathered the garden seeds and went out to greenhouse fived to prep the potting soil for planting.  The wheelbarrow had a flat tire.  I was going to get the compressor but instead I took the wheelbarrow to the garage and pumped up the tire.  The potting soil was super dry.  I broke it into smaller pieces and got it wet.  I then filled the germination tray and planted the tomato seeds.  1San Marzan, 2 Lemon Boy, 3 Celebrity, 30 seeds 4. Brandywine Pink, 10 seeds, 5. Cherokee Purple.  10 seeds.
I put a tray on top of the seeds to keep off the cats.
I put the tray on the heating mat.
I turned off the water but later came back and turned it This is a photo of a little water running so it won't freeze and break the pipes.

The Long Wait

Saturday morning was pretty uneventful.  We watched some interesting TV shows.  Carol turned them on and I didn't watch any of the Saturday morning wood working shows.  This afternoon I drove to Fillmore for gas and groceries.  I stopped at the Maverik station.  There were cars at every pump.  I lined up behind a pickup that had several mattresses in in the back.  I backed up and got behind car that looked like it would soon leave.   I stopped behind it.  They went into the store.  After a while they got in the car and drove away.  The long wait was over.  I went into the store and got me a Maverik card.  With the card I get a discount.  I got in the car and bought some groceries.  I then drove home.

Rain Like Hail

I didn't post anything on Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Carol is sick, so on Wednesday morning we went to the clinic to see a doctor.  She then went to the hospital for an Xray of her lungs. She had a little covid and pneumonia.  I picked up her prescription and I went back again to get another prescription and bought some groceries at the market   Today is Friday the 14th of February.  I can't write much.  Today is valentine day.  I gave Carol, my sweetheart a box of chocolates.

Every morning we go the post office.   I went twice. The first time I picked up the mail.  The second time was this afternoon to post a birthday card. 
Thers was a dusting of snow this morning on our driveway.  Carol is feeling just a little better.
