After the Rain

Everything was pretty wet this morning. Even though it rained, I watered the baskets and tubs on the front porch. We watched some of the morning TV shows. I went to get the mail, but Tony Deardon was parked on our driveway. He brought us some squash. I then went to the post office. Later this morning I went out to the greenhouses. I covered Robert's tiller.

Morning glory. This is growing greenhouse six. I call it Angel flowers because the flower is white.

I covered Robert's tiller with a tarp and secured it so the wind couldn't blow the tarp away

Most of the peaches and cream is showing silk. This plant is showing a large ear of corn. Should be ripe in a couple of weeks.

Monday

 

It was another hot night. I watered all the plants this morning on the front porch. Carol went to her exercise class. We drove to Fillmore. Carol got some money to send it to her sister, Anne, to help with expenses associated with her daughter. We filled the car with gas and bought a few groceries. I watered the lawn which is west of the driveway. I watered some of the plants in the garden. We had spaghetti for lunch. It started to sprinkle a little, so I went into the house. I could hear thunder somewhere south of Holden. It began to rain hard. The rainwater was pouring of the roof.

Here the water running off the roof.

It is really splashing on the front sidewalk. It stopped raining and the sidewalk dried up. there were some puddles of water in the garden.

Sunday

Richard had to go back to work.  Two speakers who were brothers. One going on a mission and the other returning from his mission. Both were good. The teachers did a good job. I watered the plants, Carol and I drove around town this evening.

Mowed Lawn

 

This morning I got the mail. 

Carol wanted to go to the store, but she didn't feel well enough to go. She made a list of things she wanted me to get. So, I went to the store and bought the things that she wanted. Carol made spaghetti for dinner.  Richard came.

The grass is really tall. I mowed the front lawn. 

I stopped at Roper's got a price quote of a tiller. I may buy one for the garden,

Twenty-fourth

 This morning we didn't have breakfast. We went to the park where parked the car. We set in front of the car. The sun was shining. Soon the parade began. The following photos illustrate the activities of the morning. 

The young men and young women posted the flags through out Holden.

 

A lot of boys and girls-built rockets out of pop bottles. Some of the rockets went high. They went up and down st fast that I couldn't get a picture.

This a picture of few of the people who were there.

Holden fire trucks were in the parade. The kids in the truck were throwing out candy.

The Holden ward bishopric is riding this.

Just an interesting car. I don't know who is in the car.

Primary boys and girls are on this truck. 

More fire trucks and boys and girls and candy.

Cars parked across the road from us.

These are cars parked close to the church.  Another activity are races. There was different age groups racing. I was in the 85 and older group, there was five of us. I didn't win.

State Bank

 

This morning after breakfast I watered the baskets and tubs. I didn't water in any of the greenhouse because of the good rain that we got yesterday. We drove to Fillmore. Carol bought a lot of greeting cards. We then went to state bank to get my laptop fixed. It took them a long time, but they got it fixed. We then came home for lunch. Carol made hotdog sandwiches. We had frozen TV dinners for supper and a dish of ice cream.

I took a photo of a half-moon in the southeast sky.

What little poly that was on greenhouse five blew off the west end.

Dermatologist

This morning after breakfast I watered the plants on the front porch and in greenhouse five. I also watered the potatoes. We watched TV. We didn't have lunch. Instead, we went to Fillmore clinic to be exsamed by the dermatologist. 

The weather was bad. There was no TV reception. I tried to fix it but failed.

The flowers in the dahlia garden got a good soaking.

The vegetable garden really got wet. 

The water was running of the roof.

The rain was coming down very fast.

The dermatologist removed a large scab on my cheek.

The peaches and cream sweet corn is showing silk.
