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.

Killing Weeds
I went around the yard and shut off the water. It was running to keep from it freezing.
I cut down on the mustard weeds that were growing in greenhouse two with the weed eater. I did it to keep them from growing seeds.I started the water in green house six but it didn't run long.

Friday
Interesting day. After breakfast and the morning TV shows. Carol went to her exercise class. When that was over, we picked up Alisha and drove to Fillmore where we bought a bag of lay pellets. We took Alisha to the drug store. We waited in the car. She soon came out and we went to the Fillmore Market and bought some groceries. At the south end of Fillmore, we bought ice creme cones. We then went home.
The pea vines are getting quite tall. Some are blooming.These holes are made by antlions. The ant goes in the hole and can't get out. Itis eaten by some small insect.

Ready for Freeze
After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows. Carol made some tuna-fish sandwiches for lunch. This afternoon I walked around the yard turning on the taps just a little so they would not freeze, The weather forecast is 22 degrees.

Bishopric
After breakfast I put on my suit and Carol took me to choir practice. We are learning some hymns that are really difficult for me. After choir practice I went in the chapel and sit with Carol and Richard. After the sacrament. The Stake President released the bishopric and sustained the new bishopric. All of them spoke. Carol went to relief society meeting; Richard and I stayed for priesthood meeting. After dinner Richard left.

Catch Up
Richard was gone all day. Carol and I went to Fillmore, Filled the car with gas, bought some groceries, and stopped at the drug store. When Richard came back. he started the lawn mower. After lunch I mowed the front lawn. I then started to mow the back lawn and hit a chain that I didn't put away last fall. The belt came loose. Richard tried to fix it. We went to Fillmore for a new belt and they didn't have one. They could have a new next week.
