Surprise

It was 5:20 when I got up this morning.  I fed the cats and started breakfast. I watched most of the morning news and most of the morning TV shows. Carol vacuumed the family room and and cleaned the kitchen floor.  

I turned on the water and watered the pomegranate shrub. It was supposed to be watered by a drip, but it wasn't.

I cut off a slice in the center of a large tomato.  I then had a ham and tomato sandwich.  The tomato didn't taste as good as I thought it would.

I picked two buckets of tomatoes.  

This is a look at one bucket. Most of the tomatoes have cracks because of inconsistent watering.

I spent most of the afternoon digging puncture weeds.  I filled the bucket and then dumped it in the trash can and then filled it again.  I picked zucchini and crookneck squash.  I also picked some large bell peppers.  We are going up north to get another car, but we needed the title of our car.  I looked allover for it, Carol also looked all over for it.  Carol then suggested that I look in the safe.  I got the key and unlocked the safe.  I found a title and showed it to Carol, but it was some other car.  I went back and found our car title.  That was the surprise.  

After a Month

Carol got up earlier than I did.  She turned on the light which woke me up with a start.  I got up, showered and dressed.   I was out of old fashion oatmeal mush.  I started a new batch. Carol fed the cats.  After breakfast I made some tapioca pudding.   I then put on my suit and got ready for church.  Carol took me to choir practice.  There was a pretty good group that came to the practice.  After practice I went into the chapel and set with Carol.  A new family in the ward were the speakers.  The did a really good job.  It was one of the better sacrament meetings that we have had.  Carol went to relief society meeting, and I went to priesthood meeting.   

Robert Helped

I was about ready to to get up and I wanted sleep for about five more minutes.  I went back to sleep and woke up about twenty minutes later.   I got up, weighted, showered, dressed, and said my prayers.  Carol got up, started the washer, showered and did her hair.  I fed the cats and started breakfast.  I watched some of the Saturday wood working shows.  Robert came and we went for a walk around the yard.  He was spraying weeds south of the shed.  

The was a milk can in the shed that belonged to my dad.  My dad's name, Lester Johnson, was pressed in the side of the can.  It is hard to see it.

A better image.

Robert is spaying weeds, mostly grass south of the shed.

It is hard to tell what this is. There are two plastic signs that are upside down covering weeds.  mostly morning glory.  They are held to the ground with fabric staples.

Robert brought some small fruit trees that he is planting south of greenhouse six.

His planting here.

Robert took the pomegranate bush that has been in our front yard all summer to greenhouse five.  He put a water tube in it.  It will be watered every day; I turned on the gas and then Robert turned the furnace on.  The furnace came on.  Carol fixed us some lunch.  After lunch, Robert went home.

Searching Postings

 

The fig bushes in greenhouse six are really tall.

We stopped at Roper's for a storm door and something to stop a leaking toilet.

11 October 2024 Friday 

Watched most of the morning TV shows.

We drove to Fillmore for some we went to the Dollar Store for motor oil.  I also bought a new plug-in phone.  The phone did not work.  It was a piece of junk.

We had a tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch We had hash brown potatoes and fried summer squash for supper.

Carol & Hospital

 

Carol went to the hospital for some blood work.

Quick drive

It was dark when I got up this morning.  The water ran all night.  From time to time I could hear the water hitting the house. I showered, dressed, shaved and said my prayers.  I got a flashlight and turned off the water.  I then watched the morning news.  I fixed breakfast.  It was about ten when we drove to Nephi for Carol's appointment for a heart check.   The car didn't give us any trouble.  Carol didn't use cruise control, and the car went okay going and coming.   I watered the baskets and tubs.

To Fillmore

 

This morning, I got up at my desired time, watched the morning news.  I made some old fashion oatmeal mush.  I fed the cats.    After the morning TV shows we went to the town hall and got our flu shots and co-vd shots.  

Carol got her shots in the left arm first.  After she was finished, I got mine.  The above photo shows her getting her shots.   We then drove to Fillmore for gas and groceries.

After lunch I cut down the sunflower plants on both sides of the driveway.

The above photo shows both sides of the driveway free of sunflower plants.

I loaded all of the sunflower plants in the back of our truck.

The sunflower plants are in a pile waiting on me to take them to the truck.

I watered the front lawn and the east lawn.  I let the water run for thirty minutes and then I would move the hose.
