Hospital

This morning after all morning the morning chores were done, Carol drove to the hospital for an MRI. It lasted for an hour. We then bought some groceries and then drove home. This afternoon, Todd Troseth came to measure for some railings for the front porch, 

Two of his boys came back and built a pattern for the railings.

The hibiscus flowers are really pretty.

Air

 

We took a bunch of vegetables to the post office. I didn't take a picture. I saw Calico, the cat that stopped on our front porch every day.  I then drove to Fillmore and had them adjust the air in the tires. Carol watered the baskets and tubes on the front porch. She also started the water on the front lawn. I watered the front lawn, the back lawn, the lawn west of the driveway, and the lawn west of the garage. We went to the post office picked up the tote. All of the vegetables were gone except for a yellow crookneck squash and a zucchini. We tried to watch Rosemary and Tyme. The battery on the remote died. We finally got the TV to come on.

Back to Normal

 

This morning we were home alone. I watered some plants in the yard.  For breakfast we ate food that was left over from our trip. We attended our church meetings. The speakers and teachers were good. We ate some of the same thing for lunch. A few more leftovers for supper. I watered most of the back lawn this afternoon. I moved the sprinkler to different locations every half hour or so.

Lisa Leaves

 

My alarm thinks it still is in Los Vegas and woke me up at 5:30. I went back to bed and slept too long. Carol got up and we fixed breakfast. Lisa got up. I watered the plants in out yard. I also started the water in the garden.

The peonies were really dry. The were five plants. I let the garden hose run each one until they had a good soaking. 

The hibiscus plants are blooming now. this one is in the lawn.

This hibiscus is one the front lawn at the end of the sidewalk.

This afternoon we drove to Delta for a family reunion. There were a lot of brothers, cousins, etc. The food was good. There was a lot of smoke in the air when we good back in Holden. I didn't take any pictures.

Our Trip

Late Wednesday night, Lisa came. After we exchanged greetings, we went to bed. Lisa slept in Richard's bedroom. Thursday morning, after breakfast we got in Lisa's car, and she drove to the home of Leslie Anne Belhasen. I took us most of the day. Lisa arranged for us to stay at a bed and breakfast in Las Vegas, Nevada. The funeral services were really good. I took a few pictures of the lunch that was served after the funeral.

This is me, Carol, Anne, Leslie, Larry.

This is me, Carol, Leslie, and Larry.

Carol and Larry.

They didn't have pictures of water, but they had bottled water.

They had a buffet table.

Wed were in Beaver waiting for ice cream cones.

We met Robert and his family at a private park where there was a swimming circle.

We stopped at the Saint George temple. Carol is standing in front of the temple.

People eating.

We ate at a chines place.

We drove to the location of a new temple which will be fairly close to Anne's house. 

Were Ready

When I got up this morning the shower curtain was down. heard it fall during the night. I put back up and then showered. Later in the morning I secured it so it would fall again. Carol went to her exercise class. I started the water on the dahlias. I also watered the potatoes. Carol made bacon and tomatoes sandwiches which were really good. We need to water the plants while we go to Las Vegas. We considered hiring someone, but they might fall on the front porch steps. 

We had a surprise visit from Holden and his family. They were on their way to St George. I drilled holes in the PVC pipe and set it at an angle. I put the end of garden hose in the pipe and then turn on the water just a little bit. 

This looks like a dead cat. But this is Tiger asleep in the grass.

I turned the water on the dahlia garden.

The hibiscus plant is blooming. This is the first bloom of the summer.

I built this a couple days ago. The hose is inserted on the left.

I did this one today. The hose is inserted on the right.

Getting Ready

I haven't posted anything for a couple of days. There has been a lot of smoke in the air because of the fires east and south of Fillmore. We drove to Fillmore. Carol went to State bank got some money. We filled the car with gas. Carol got some medication. I got some things at Roper's. We bought some groceries. We are going to go to Las Vegas in the morning. We will be gone over night. I am getting things ready today. I watered the garden and baskets and tubs.

I watered the flowers in the kidney.

I walked out the front door to see how the plants were doing. There were humming birds flying all around the front porch and the hummingbird feeder.
