First Day

    

This morning I watered the plants inside the house. I do this every Monday. I also watered the plants on the front porch. There are a few dry places on the front lawn that I watered. Carol went to her exercise class.

Busy Morning

 

It's dark when I get up now. I began this morning by making oatmeal mush, I then fed the cats. After Carol got up, I fixed breakfast. A little later I got the household garbage ready for the dump. I turned on the sprinkler on the back yard. I took some squash to the post office. later we went to the dump. BYU football team played the Arizona tigers this afternoon in Provo at 1:30. I tried to listen to the game on the internet. I couldn't find it. I then put the radio on the couch. I listened to the first quarter; I then found it on the internet. Carol found the game on TV. I was able to watch the fourth quarter. 

We had frozen dinners for lunch. Carol made bacon and tomato sandwiches for supper. It was then more TV until we went to bed.

Cooler Day

After breakfast I watered some plants in the garden. I picked some squash. I took them to the post office. It rained this morning

The topaz melon is about the size of a bowling ball.

The flag is posted today. An airplane crashed into a tall building in New York, New York. It happened on September 11.

The box above contained the squash that I took to the post office. This afternoon I watered the lawn east of the house, The water pressure stayed good except for the last turn. Lizabeth called. After Carol finished speaking to her, Carol gave the phone to me. We were on the phone about 45 minutes.

What a Day

We left Holden this morning a little before eight. I fed the cats. We put on our Sunday clothes and drove Payson. When we got to the Payson temple it was closed for maintenance work. It will be for several weeks. We then went to Sams Club. We got some groceries and a bag of cat food. We then drove to Linden to visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen, 

On the way home we stopped at the Red Barn. We bought bread, sweet corn and straw berries. Our next stop was in Nephi. We bought two ice cream cones,

We drove through Mona. They were putting new asphalt on the road.

This is a photo Carol, Nyleen, and me in the back.

Back Lawn

Carol did her hair while I fixed breakfast. I fed the cats. I then started the sprinkler on the back lawn. I let it run for thirty minutes and then changed it. I moved the sprinkler every half hour to different locations until the back lawn was watered. We had a stand which for lunch. I watered most of the front lawn and the pots and baskets.

At the Well

I had a good sleep last night. After breakfast this morning I turned on a sprinkler and began to water the south end of the east lawn. There was a good spray. I left it on for 45 minutes. I then turned on the sprinkler to water the back lawn. It didn't spray far enough. I tried two sprinklers at the same time. That didn't work. I then picked some vegetables. I made two trips to the post office with the vegetables. I turned the water on the east lawn back on. I tried to water with two sprinklers, but it didn't work, I got a phone call from someone wanting native plants. 

The above photo is an example of some of the vegetables that I picked and took to the post office. A friend of mine took all of them.

This photo shows the sprinkler on the east lawn. I move it about every 30 minutes.

We picked up Alisha and drove to Fillmore; we stopped at the drugstore where Carol bought some medication. We then went to the market for some groceries. We took Alisha home and then we went home. I turned on a sprinkler on the back lawn. Later I turned the sprinklers off.

Labor Day

We watched some of the morning TV shows. Later in the morning we were going to go to the drug store for some medication for Carol. She her pill bottle to have it refilled. The bottle is not refillable. We drove around Holden. Carol got some books at the book barn. I watered the plants in the front yard; I also picked some squash and sweet corn.  

A lot of squash and peppers.

The same as above but before they were washed.

The flag is posted by the young men and young women. This afternoon I cut down a row of sweet corn, The well works.
