Wind Damage

My phone did ring this morning, but I did get up at 6:20. After breakfast. We watched some of the morning TV shows. Carol went to her exercise class. We drove to Fillmore for gas and then bought a few groceries. We stopped at the auto parts store and got the lawn mower belt and battery charger. Wind blew really hard during the night and blew some of the plastic off greenhouse six. 

We saw some hummingbirds flying around in front of the house. I took the old feeder into the house and Carol emptied out the old sugar water and put in some fresh sugar water. I put the new ones back. The one on the left was easy. The one on the right was much harder. I gave a hard push. It went one the hook. I lost my balance fail on my right arm and of my head hit the hard ground. 

This is the right feeder.
Picture of missing greenhouse plastic.

I had to move the chipper under some greenhouse plastic.  It wouldn't get rained on.

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.
This cactus has three flowers,

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.

Flowering cactus in full bloom.

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.
