More Rain

 

When I got up this morning, I opened the front door and could see that had been raining. I showered and got dressed. I watched the morning news. I fed the cats. Carol gets up. I watered all the ln door plants. We watched the morning TV shows. After breakfast I shredded a lot of business paper. Carol went to her exercise class. I shredded more papers. I adjusted the kitchen clock. It was off by one hour. I had to get the big stepladder. When Carol got back, we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. Carol let me off at Dan Speakman's office. He adjusted my laptop computer. After that I crossed the road and me Carol at the market. We then went to the drug store. Carol got some greeting cards and some medication. We had spaghetti for lunch it was good. I went out to the back yard and started to cut the branches of the dead tree that fell over.

I got my chain saw and began to cut off branches.

Here is another picture.

I put the branches in the back of the truck. I would have done more, but the chain came of the saw several times.

New Month

I slept in this morning. My alarm didn't go off. I was. She prepared potatoes and a sweet potato. They were put in the oven. After a while late for everything. I fed the cats. It rained some during the night. Carol prepared the potatoes for baking and I set the time. Soon after that we got ready for church. It was raining some when we left. There was a couple of cars parked. We wondered, what is the problem? Carol opened the back door and turned on the hallway light. There was no one there. We then went home and checked the time; Day light time had ended. We waited a while and went back to church. The meetings went well. We then went back home and ate our Sunday dinner. I had a baked potato smothered with butter. we also had fried chicken nuggets. And butter nut squash. We watched TV channel eleven. The rain continued. We could watch TV because Robert cut all of the tree branches covering the dish.

Robert Came

 

Robert came. The first thing that he did was to get the ladder and climb on the roof of the house and cut all of the branches off the tree that was blocking signal to the satellite dish. The truck battery was dead. We put cables from his car battery to the truck battery. We let it run a long time. finally, the truck started. He backed it to the backyard. We did a lot of cutting and trimming trees and shrubs. 

This topaz melon has been in the for months and was spoiled. I put it in the hen house for the chickens,

This a photo of the truck full of branches. We made four trips to the dump.

Robert is cutting shrubs. This one has a lot of thorns.

Robert is is inside of greenhouse five cutting down a small elm tree.

The chrysanthemum on the west side of the porch had dipped over. I moved it higher up to the next step. Halloween. We had 24 trick or treaters. Carol kept track of how many children came. We had a lot of candy left over.

Shredding

After breakfast we watched some of the morning news and TV shows.  At ten Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I dumped the shredded in a large nursery can, I then went into my bedroom and be to shred papers that was in my file cabinet. The first folder belonged to Richard. There were papers about his early work experiences and marriages. Most were about bills that I paid. Carol made grilled cheese sandwiches. They were very good. I shredded more papers. Most of them had to do old bills that I filled away. I kept a day-to-day journal. This afternoon it began to rain; there was enough rain that interrupted the TV signal. I went out to the back of the house and was able move the leaves away from the dish. It started to rain again. I was able to read another chapter in the Book of Mormon.

A couple of days ago I picked some green looking topaz melons. Carol removed the seeds and cut the flesh in to small pieces. They were good. 

Carol made cheeseburger sandwiches for lunch and they were good. 

The Temple

 Carol was up before me this morning. After showering I put on some of my Sunday clothes. After breakfast I we got ready to go to temple in Payson. A man there called me name, I didn't recognize him, but later membered him. We had an enjoyable session. before I left, I met man from the Holden ward and my brother, Ray. He is a temple worker on Tuesday, but today he was there for a session. We stopped at the Red Barn to see what they had. We then drove to Nephi and bought two ice cream cones. We then to Levan on the way home. When we got home, Carol made some cheese sandwiches. I then carved the pumpkines.

This the big pumpkind that we bought several weeks ago. it is setting on pot. the plant had died.

This a wrinkled pumpkin. It was hard to carve. We had a hot pepper that I inserted in the mouth to make a tung.

Here are the pumpkins on the front porch.

 

Midweek

After I got up, I watched the morning news, I fed the cats and was able to touch the cat that was in the house. It was a kitten then, I fixed breakfast. We watched the morning TV shows. It was about ten this morning when Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I was in my bedroom removing folders that were in the cabinet, one of folders contained stories that I wrote while we were living in Delta. There were a lot of folders that contained income and tax information. I run them through the shredder. By this time the shredder was full. We dumped the shredder. There was another folder that was full. I was full of stories that were written by my students.

Good News

 This morning I opened the back door. Tiger, our cat, lay there dead. It was a sad time. Soon after it was light I dug a hole in the ground and buried the cat. Then after the news and breakfast and after some of the morning TV shows Carol called Doctor Gross and made an appointment for to see him was at three. We drove to Fillmore. We stopped at State Bank. Carol needed some cash. We got some medication at the drug store. Then we bought some groceries and then went home. We went to the post office. The squash that I left there yesterday were mostly gone. There were some small fruits there. Carol made some bacon and tomato sandwiches which were really good. We went back to Fillmore where we met with Dr Gross. He looked at my hernia. He said it wasn't a hernia. That was the good news.
