Cleaned Garage Some

Carol found a large metal pot in the pantry that contained dried food. If we had to leave Holden in a hurry, we would have some food that would sustain us for some time. I looked in the garage for some more; I found a bag that was full of dried food and a bucket that contained other needed items. I picked some sweet corn and chucked it. Carol boiled it and then we cut the corn of the cob. It is now in the freezer. We had warm-ups for lunch. Later we rode around town. We drove around town and then went north on the frontage road. There was a flood of muddy water late last night.

This is a hippity-hop that some of our kids played with when they were younger.

Good Rain

After the chores were done, we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. We then bought some groceries.  Some of our friends were also getting groceries. I found some figs in greenhouse six. Two of them were ripe, which I ate. They were good. I watered the plants on the front porch. It rained some this morning, and we had a good rain during the night.

Payson & Linden

We headed north this morning. The traffic was pretty light all way to Payson. We stopped at the Payson temple and attended the session. After the session we stopped at Sam's Club and bought cat food and some groceries. We then drove to Linden and had a nice visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen. 

When we got home, I picked two ears of corn. We had a good rain for a few minutes. It didn't last long enough.
Nyleen had a beautiful flowering shrub. Carol picked three stems and brought them home.

 I watered the east lawn, and it took most of the day. I did a little weed eating. Carol went to her exercise class this morning.

Hospital

This morning after all morning the morning chores were done, Carol drove to the hospital for an MRI. It lasted for an hour. We then bought some groceries and then drove home. This afternoon, Todd Troseth came to measure for some railings for the front porch, 

Two of his boys came back and built a pattern for the railings.
The hibiscus flowers are really pretty.

Air

 


We took a bunch of vegetables to the post office. I didn't take a picture. I saw Calico, the cat that stopped on our front porch every day.  I then drove to Fillmore and had them adjust the air in the tires. Carol watered the baskets and tubes on the front porch. She also started the water on the front lawn. I watered the front lawn, the back lawn, the lawn west of the driveway, and the lawn west of the garage. We went to the post office picked up the tote. All of the vegetables were gone except for a yellow crookneck squash and a zucchini. We tried to watch Rosemary and Tyme. The battery on the remote died. We finally got the TV to come on.

Back to Normal

 

This morning we were home alone. I watered some plants in the yard.  For breakfast we ate food that was left over from our trip. We attended our church meetings. The speakers and teachers were good. We ate some of the same thing for lunch. A few more leftovers for supper. I watered most of the back lawn this afternoon. I moved the sprinkler to different locations every half hour or so.
