Pomegranate

 

Busy today.  I watched the morning news, and the MeTV shows.  


with the help of Carol, I removed the storm door.  I was really heavy.  The door is gone in the above photo.  I had recently fed the cats and kittens.
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.




Some of kittens have eyes that are stuck shut.  Carol wraps the kitten with a towel and uses a wet napkin to soften the eye and wipe off the softened eye discharge.  


Does anyone else have kittens with the eyes stuck shut?

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.

Pulled Geraniums

Another day of sleeping in. I was late getting up, but not the way I wanted to.  I showered, dressed and said my prayers.  I watched some of the news. The news seems to be about Donald Trump.  Carol got up and vacuumed the family room.  I swept the kitchen floor.  We cleaned the eyes of five kittens.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  For some reason we lost reception for the Channel 44 shows.  It finally came back.  After lunch I called a veterinarian to get some medication for curing the eyes of some of the kittens.  The Vet was out of town.

I watered the pomegranate shrub in house five.  This odd-looking tomato was on the huge tomato plant.
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,

The Ear Doctor



It was 6:20 when I got up.  I turned om the morning news and the fed the cats.  Carol showered and did her hair.  I fixed breakfast.  We then watched the morning TV shows.  It was eleven when we left Holden.  There were a lot of trucks going in both directions.  We went to Costco. we were there about a half hour early.  We walked through the store.  Carol was looking for a birthday present for here good friend, Linda Slater.   We then went to the hearing center.  Nancy, the direct helped Carol.  She was then able to insert her hearing aids.  We bought a few things that included grapes.  We wanted to visit Ann Stephenson who was in a care center.  We had her address.  We went up and down the streets in Santaquin and finally the extended care center.  We Stopped at the Nisson garage to have someone help change the time on the clock and a few other things, but there was no one there. It is still under construction.  Bought some ice cream at the red barn.  It was pretty messy while eating it.  We stopped in Mona and finished eating the ice cream, we stopped at the park in Nephi and threw our cups away.  We then drove the rest of the way home.  It was good to wash the sticky ice cream off of our hands.  The weather for cast was for rain or snow.  I thought that it would be a good idea the mow up the leaves on the east side of our house.  The lawn mower would not start because the battery was dead.  I drug out a extension cord and the battery charger.  I left it on for about twenty minutes.  I then mowed up the leaves. the grass catcher quickly filled.  I had to dump them quite a few times.  The sun had gone down by the time I put the lawn mower away.
