Payson Temple

After breakfast this morning we left Holden and headed to the temple in Payson. We were delayed some because of the road improvement at the north freeway entrance. There was a lot of traffic going north. After the session we stopped a Wendy's for hamburgers and drinks. There was a lot of road construction where one lane was closed. We stopped in Nephi ice cream cones. More construction on the south bound lane. We couldn't get off the freeway, so we drove to the south exit. We picked up the mail and came home.

Mid Week

Watering the plants in the garden was the main thing that I did this morning. It has been so hot that plants dry rapidly dry out. I turned the water down a row and then come back to the house. I kept going out and coming back. I watered the baskets and tubs on the front porch. Carol was watering the lawn west of the garage. Later she went to her exercise class. She fixed two egg salad sandwiches. This afternoon I started to water the east lawn. 

The above photo shows the sprinkler. I move the hose every thirty minutes.

Brakes are Fixed

I drove to Fillmore this morning. My first stop was at Roper's where I bought some razor blades. I then went to the TIRE SHOP to have them remove the squeak in the brakes. They blew away the brake dust. I went to the bank to get some money for Carol. I then got gas at at LOVES. I drove around the pump and finally found a pump where I filled the car with gas. I stopped at the grocery store for a few things. Carol moved the large jade plant and it came out of the pot. I found a pot that she liked that was in the shed, I filled it with wet potting soil.

This picture is of the jade plants in a new pot.

I stacked three tree baskets. Hopefully the deer won't eat the tomato plants.

Fixed Brakes

 

I drove to Fillmore to fix the sceking brakes.

Fast Sunday

 

No breakfast this morning. I turned on the news, but there was not any new news. I set the oven so it would be done when we got home. After dinner I turned the water on the first row of tomatoes and peppers. Our neighbor drove up.

He gave us some zucchini.

4th July

After breakfast this morning we drove to Fillmore to watch the parade. We parked north of Zion's Bank. I got the folding chairs and walked across the street and found a place to watch the parade.

The young men and young women posted the flag.

I watered the plants in greenhouse five. There was this pipe that I was able to attach it to the garden hose.

This is the view of the parade from where we were siting, People in the parade would throw out candy. some of the people watching the parade would get closer to the center of the street. 

A woman who lives in Holden took this picture with my phone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Robert Came

During the night I thought about a sprinkler that we got several years ago. I found it behind some boxes in the garage. I cleaned it and hooked it up to the garden hose. It worked.

This shows the sprinkler turned on.

A close up of the sprinkler.

I raked up the leaves and put them in a black nursery pot. I dumped them out by the shed. I made four of five trips.

Some of the leaves were in the steps that go under the house.

I thought that these leaves were worth a picture.

Thayne installed this grab bar in my tub.

I took this picture of him installing it. He bought the bar and installed it would not accept any money.

This is the sprinkler that was in the garage, When the water is running, the sprinkler follows the hose.

Here the water is on, the front of sprinkler is the hose.

Robert started up the lawn mower and mowed the lawns. We also took the old hoses to the dump. Carol cooked lunch and Robert went home.
