Tap Fixed

This morning, we went to the Timpanogos temple.  We picked up Carol's sister Nyleen.  After the session we took Nyleen home.  After a short visit we headed back home.  I put on my work clothes and when out to greenhouse five.  I wanted to fix a leaking tap.  I got a hold Rod who is the town employee.  He shut off the water.  I then fixed the leaking tap.  Meanwhile Carol had her hair done.  She really looks cute.  

This is the tap after it is fixed.  I didn't have to buy anything.  I found some parts.

This is how the tap looked before I fixed it.  I got some tools and removed the tap.

The thermostat 

Birthday

It is Carol's birthday today.  I left a note in the bathroom which she would see as soon ad she got up.  I fed the cats and fixed breakfast.  We watched the morning news and TV shows.  

Soon after breakfast I walked out to greenhouse five, I started the furnace last night and it was still running this morning.  

 We went to Fillmore for ice cream cones.  This is how we celebrated Carol's birthday.

More freezing

I watched the morning news this morning and then fed the cats.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  Later I picked up the mail. It was a little before lunch when I went out to greenhouse five and began to water some of the plants.  When I turned the water on it was just a trickle, in a few minutes there was a full stream.  The water in the hose was frozen.  I had a floppy joy for lunch.  I just finished lunch when the doorbell rang.  It was C.R. Charlesworth.  He is a friend of ours who sells produce.  Carol bought some.  I called Adam Remkes to see if he could fix the thermostat that is in greenhouse five, He will come tomorrow around noon.  It is 7:41 now. I walked out in the dark to greenhouse five.  I changed the temperature to thirty-eight and the furnace came on. It was blowing hot air when I left.  I am going to check it out in the morning.

Colombus Day

I called Andrew Brown this afternoon.  The furnace in greenhouse five hasn't been working.  He was in Arizona and couldn't come. He has an employee who lives in Holden that he would send over.  The doorbell rang.  There was at the door.  He had fixed the thermostat, and it was working. Later I went out to check it. This afternoon I did a lot of pruning of the baskets in greenhouse five.

The tempature in greenhouse five was 86 degrees.  I had to take my jacket off.

There was two large tubs of Chrysanthemums.  I cut off the dead stems.

The large dead stems shaded the new growth under the old stems. The growth can now begin to grow stronger.

This plant had a lot of geraniums in it, I cut all of the dead. It looked like there will be some new growth. 

I gave the rest of the lay pellets to the chickens. There are three hens and one rooster. 

Four relief Society sister visited Carol this evening for her birthday, they gave her a chocolate candy bar,  

Sunday

I really slept in this morning.  I have a sore on the right side of my face that I didn't want to get wet. Therefore, I didn't shower, it was late and Carol woke me up. After breakfast Carol prepared our dinner.  I set the oven timer.  Carol then put it in the oven.  I walked out to greenhouse five.  There was cookie sheet that last night I filled with some water.  It was frozen when I cheeked it this morning. Later this morning we went to church.  The meetings were good.  We then came home for a dinner of meatloaf and baked potatoes.  We were watching TV when the doorbell rang.  Carol went to the door and let four relief society sisters.  They brought Carol birthday present.  It was a large chocolate candy bar.

Saturday Morning

It was six twenty when I got up this morning.  I started making some old fashion mush and then fed the cats.  After breakfast I went to the post office and picked up the mail. I tried on my new levies.  Carol cut two inches off the bottoms my pant legs.  We drove to Fillmore and gassed up the car.  After lunch I fed the chickens.

The lay pellets are all gone.

When the sun shines and warms up greenhouse five. I worked for over an hour printing two family pictures.  This afternoon Carol and I went for a little ride around Holden.
