Temple Again

This morning I watered the baskets and pots on the front porch. As soon as breakfast was over, we drove to the Payson Temple. We on the 9:40 session. Some of the same people the 9:40 session last week. Somebody had some kind of medical emergency. There was an ambulance at the temple. We called Carol's sister Nyleen Batty. We were going to visit her in Linden. She didn't answer. We stopped at Wendy's and got two hamburgers and drinks. We stopped in Nephi for ice cream cones.

This afternoon wheb we got home I watered the baskets and pots on the front porch. I started to water the garden. I took the following photos.

I picked the yellow squash and one zucchini on the right.
I quit watering the cucumber plants because I didn't want to eat any more cucumbers, Carol wanted to continue taking them to the post office. I started watering them again.
I picked some squash. Took a picture and then found some more squash.
This is a photo of two squash that grew together.
The topaz melon is a little bigger each day, Almost the size of a tennis ball.

Car Fixed

This morning after breakfast I mowed the lawn. I removed all of the garden hoses that were on the lawns, The lawn mower started right up. I put air in the tires and began to mow. I started on the front lawn and run out of gas while I was on the front driveway, sometime ago, I got a new gas can and filled it with gas. As hard as I tried, I couldn't pour gas in the lawnmower tank. Finally poured in an old container and then poured it into the lawnmower tank. I then mowed the front lawn, the east lawn, and most of the back lawn. Carol came out and reminded me that I was to take the car to Fillmore to get the front right fender fixed. The mechanics fixed it and I didn't cost me anything. I came home and finished mowing the lawn.

I mowed all of the lawns today.
I had a sweet potato for supper.  
The people at the garage the front fender on the right side.

A small topaz melon is in the above photo. It is a little larger than an olive.
