Topaz & Irrigation

 

After I got up, I fed the cats and realized that I needed to make some old fashion oatmeal mush. I started to make some. I opened the fridge and there was a bowel of mush. We ate breakfast. Now I have three bowels of mush. I found an old garden hose that has been in the weeds for years. I cleaned it. I planted seven groups of topaz melon seeds in the north garden. We drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. Before we went home, we stopped at Roper's for some garden hose attachments. I got my weed eater and cut a lot of weeds by the tap; I hooked the hose to the tap and pot the other end on the row Topaz melons. The were soon watered. Carol made soup for lunch. I watered the baskets and tubs on the front porch. I found another hose that had several hose clamps that I salvaged. We had pizza for supper.

Payson

 

It was about eight when we left Holden for Payson. We had our Sunday close on because we did a session at the temple. The session room was nearly full. After the session was over we went to Walmart, Carol bought annual flowers. 

After we got home, I unloaded the beading plants.
A deer ate three plants that we planted yesterday. They even pulled them out of the ground. I covered most of the plants tree baskets.
This picture shows the tree baskets and the irrigation.  
More irrigation and tree cages to protect the tomato plant.

Wrong Size


This morning everything was pretty normal; I drove to Fillmore to get smaller hose connector. I didn't need one. I had put it together wrong. I got right. I was able put it the right way.

It is a clowdy day, but no rain.
I planted a row of peaches and cream sweet corn. Here it is being irrigated.
Memorial Day. The flag is posted in our front yard. 
Robert and Jeanne were here for Memorial Day. I fixed the leak in the drip waterer that waters the dahlias. I turned the on the water, I got a lot of Foxtel seeds in my socks. This evening I went out and cut down the weeds. Tonight I turned the water off.

We didn't have our usual breakfast. We had old fashion oatmeal mush. Robert and I walked around the nursery. He started the water running on the potatoes. The screen was plugged. he fixed it. We went to the park where the town had a Memorial Day lunch. Robert and Jeanne went home. 

I planted another row of Peaches and Cream sweet corn. I also watered it. Carol watered the baskets and tubs She also watered the front lawn that was just east of the driveway,

I couldn't water the peas.

I found a garden hose that was hooked to the pressure tank. It took me quite a long time to get it into greenhouse five,

The speakers did a good job. The choir provided inspiring music.

Cemetery

 

This morning we loaded the plants in the car and went to Provo. The traffic wasn't too bad. Carol dose driving and went right to the Provo cemetery. We took seven flowering pots and placed them at several locations at the cemetery and placed them by the head stone. We went to Sam's Club and bought some groceries. We then drove to a store where they sale shoes. I had look in several stores before I found the right store. My shoes and slippers were worn out. We then went home. After we got home I watered the baskets and the shrubs and trees in greenhouse five,

We drove to Nyleen's house and a nice visit with her. A friend was there where we took this selfie. 
I took this picture in front of a larger mirror.
