Sunday

 

This morning my alarm didn't go off. I was a little late getting up. I started the slow cooker up and then I put the roast in.  I made a new batch of old fashion oatmeal mush.

We had a good breakfast this morning. Mush and eggs. Carol vacuumed the front room and family room. I mopped the kitchen floor. We watched the channel seven TV shows. Carol went to her exercise class. We had bacon and tomato sandwiches for lunch. I was able to listen to the Notre dame vs BYU. We had sweet corn and rice for supper. I moped the kitchen floor. Carol turned the TV to channel four. We were able to watch the last quarter on TV. BYU won.

The Temple

 

This morning we drove to the Payson temple. Traffic wasn't bad. There was a handicapped parking spot close to the front door. We walked in showed our recommends and walked in. We went on the next session. After the session we stopped at Walmart and bought a few groceries. We stopped at the Red Barn and bought seven ears of sweet corn and raspberries. We took the road that went through the small towns on the way to Nephi. We stopped in Nephi and bought ice cream cones. The traffic going to Scipio was bad. Sometimes the left lane was closed. Other times the right lane was closed. We stopped in for mail in Holden and then went home. We put on our work clothes. I walked out to the north garden to uncover the topaz melons. I decided to wait. I went to greenhouse six and I ate fifty figs;

Rain

It rained most of the night. After I showered and got dressed, I turned on the TV to watch the morning news. There was no signal. It was dark outside. After got light, I went outside, pricked up a long PVC pipe and moved the end of a wet tree branch, When I went back in the house. The TV came on. I read a chapter in the Book of Mormon. I had soup for lunch; I also ate some topaz melon. 

This cap for a two inch pipe. It is full of rainwater.

We had some surprise visitors a couple of days ago. From left to wright. Annalee, Maryann, Ray Gary Church, Merrill, and Carol. 

There was a lot of rain, This is a photo of the rain on the front porch.

Here is water running at the base of a fruit tree located west of greenhouse five.

I covered the topaz melons with sheets of burlap to protect them from freezing. The temperature may go down 32 degrees.

The sun set showed up on the trees across the road.

More Watering

After breakfast I found a long garden hose and drug it to Robert's fruit trees south of greenhouse six. I wanted to water his fruit trees.

This a short section of a garden hose which allowed me to connect to the well water.

Here I am running water on one of Robert's fruit trees.

I removed the timing clock.

I got an envelope of topaz melon seeds.

Payson Temple

We left early for the Payson temple. We found a parking spot close to the temple doors. We waited in the chapel and walked a short distance to the session room. After the session we drove to the Red Barn and found a handicap parking spot. We bought six ears of sweet corn; we got Ice-cream cones in Nephi. A little we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. WE bought some groceries at the market.  We drove up and down main street looking for the place where a person could get a haircut. After lunch I watered the baskets and tubs on the front yard.  I picket the large topaz melon. Carol cut it in half and removed the seeds. She then cut the flesh into small pieces and put them in the fridge.

I put the seeds in a newspaper starting the process of drying the seeds.

This is the topaz melon some scales. It weighs six pounds.

Carol removed the seeds out of the topaz melon.

Robert's fruit trees are suffering because there hasn't been much rain.
