Timpanogos Temple

 

It was 6:30 when we left Holden this morning. Traffic was light when we got on the freeway, The traffic was much heavier when we got into Utah county.   We picked up the Batty's and then drove to the Timpanogos temple.  We had a good session in spite of a couple problems.  We took the Batty's home and then drove home,  I put on my work clothes and walked out to Greenhouse five.

Asparagus

After breakfast we watched the morning channel 44 TV programs.  When they were over, we drove to Fillmore.  We stopped at the Fillmore IFA.  We bought some Pontiac potatoes and russet potatoes.  I wanted some celebrity tomato plants.  The didn't have any.  I ordered some.  We stopped at Roper's where I bought lights and a gate valve.  We got soft ice-cream cones.  We ate them on the way home.  After lunch I planted the sweet potatoes.  Two rooted stems and the two sweet potatoes that many roots.  

I picked a lot of asparagus.  The photo above is of one of our best asparagus clump.

I cut down last year's dead asparagus stems.

Carol cooked some asparagus for me.  She doesn't like it.

This is the raised bed where i planted the whole asparagus one each end with a couple leaves showing.  The rooted stems were planted in the center.

The whole asparagus is buried here with the leaves showing. I run water on the sweet potatoes. 

This is the gate valve that I bought.  I turned a little water on at the well.  The valve worked.  No water leaked.  Carol shredded some potatoes.  She fried them with slices of onions,

We are going to the Timpanogos temple early in the morning.  I did the watering in greenhouse five.  I opened the east door and closed the west door.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Payson Temple

 I watched the clock in my bedroom for about one hour before got up.  I weighted in, posted my weigh, said my prayers and then shaved. I turned on the morning news.  I was out of oatmeal mush so I started a new batch.  I then fed the cats.  I started breakfast. Carol then got up and started washing the clothes.  After breakfast I went out to greenhouse five.

Rain

I was up in time to watch the morning news.  I wasn't early enough to shave but did say my prayers.  I fed the cats and started breakfast.  I watched the morning channel 44 TV shows.  When they were over, we picked up the mail and drove to Fillmore.  We stopped at the drug store where Carol got her medication.  We then stopped at Roper's where I bought a 75-foot garden hose.  It rained most of the day.  After dinner it was more TV.  I then watered some of the plants and picked a handful of green arrow peas.  I gave them to Carol.

Stake Conference

I got up this morning early enough to watch them morning news.  Richard was gone when when I got up.  He was called back to work to fix some broken equipment.  I then watched channel eleven and we watched Sunday morning programs.  I fed the cats started breakfast.  The Sunday morning session of stake conference was starting at ten.  We put on our Sunday clothes.  It was a little after nine when we drove to Fillmore.  We were way early and set on the third bench in front of the chapel.   The meeting was really good.  The speakers were inspiring.  The choir who was members of the relief society were good.  Another group were extremely good.  After the meeting was over, we went home for a dinner of roast beef, baked potatoes and gravy.   After supper we watched TV until we went to bed.

Robert, Friend, & Richard

I was almost finished with breakfast when the back doorbell rang. It was Robert.  He said that he came early before it gets too hot.  I finished eating and Robert went out to greenhouse five.

He started planting.  There was braided wire laying on the floor.  Every time we would walk through the greenhouse, we would get our feet tangled in the wire.  He wound the wire around two nursery pots.  We took out to the grape vines and hooked it to a T post on the west end and stretched it to a turnbuckle on the east end.  Robert's friend came and helped with the wire.

Robert's friend brought some fruit trees.

Robert's friend is planting some plants that were in some pots.
