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.

Robert & Jeanne
We went to the drugstore to get the medication, It cost $400.00. Carol was on the phone with someone to see if we could get the cost of the medication reduced. It didn't work. There were ten little bags. I was take one at night and one in the morning until they were gone. Robert and Jeanne came. They went to work in greenhouse five. They fixed the fertilizer injector and planted a bunch of flowers. They told us that Holden, our grandson, and his family were going to go to church, which was good news. We have had a little snow and rain. Jeanne fixed the clock in the car. She did it in a couple of minutes.

The Docter
Things pretty normal this morning. Carol made me an appointment with Doctor Gross at ten. I was tested for covid. The results were positive. I had covid. We stopped at the drug store for the prescription, they didn't have it. They would call us tomorrow. Carol bought some groceries at the Fillmore Market while I waited in the car. I used the walker in my bedroom when I would get up to go to the bathroom.

April Fools
I got up several times during the night to use the bathroom. It looked out the south window. It looked like there was snow on the backyard lawn. When I got up this morning, I turned the front porch light on and there was snow. I had to brush the snow off the dish. We the got a clear TV signal. The three picture below illustrates the snow,

Busy Monday
After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows. Carol washed the sheets and pillowcases. After the shows were over we made up the beds. We then picked up Elisha Bills and took her to the Fillmore Market for groceries. Carol and I got our groceries and waited for Elisha. We waited in our car for over one-half hour. She had her shopping cart filled to the top. She had three cases of bottled water plus other things. We took her home and we went home. The weather has been much cooler. There is a forecast for 32-degree weather. Carol made supper good soup that we ate for supper.

Transplanting Geraniums
Transplanting geraniums is the major thing that I did day. I don't have the four-inch pots that I wanted to use. I found a box full of 1020 trays containing seventy-two cells. The tops trays were bent by the hot sun. Deeper in the stack were some good trays.
I sprayed water on the potting soil and mixed it up. I then filled a 1020 tray with soil. Then I transplanted the geraniums one plant in each cell. I worked on that for nearly an hour.I ended up with 160 plants. Some were really small but most a good size.Last week Robert transplanted lettuce plants in house five. They are doing well. Richard came this afternoon. It is raining.
