Rain

It was about seven this morning when we left Holden.  There was some rain in the valley some snow in the mountains.  We were soon in Linden where we picked up Nyleen and drove to the Mount Timpanogos temple. We were early enough to go the earlier session.  When the session was over, we took Nyleen home.  She made us a nice sack lunch. We stopped at Sams Club where we bought some groceries.  It began to rain quite hard. We then went to Walmart where I bought a connecting cable for my phone. It worked. I am now able to take picture and post them on my blog.

There was about one half inch of rainwater in this frying pan on the patio, it looks like a mirror showing the tree branches above. 
This another picture I took, showing the temperature in greenhouse five. We took the house garbage to the dump.  There has been some thunder this afternoon.

Power Was Off

 

After breakfast we watched one TV show when the power was turned off.  This was announced several weeks ago.  I backed the car out of the garage.  The power was turned off at nine right as scheduled.  We had planned to take three unopened glass coke bottles to Maryanne.  We soon drove to Sutherland and stopped her house.  After a short we drove around Sutherland.  We looked at the home where I grew up.  We went the cemetery where our baby and my parents were buried. We then drove on miles and miles of dirt roads.  We filled the care with gas in Fillmore.   W bought some hamburger and then drove home.  The power came back on. I went out to greenhouse five to hook up the drip tape to water a row of peas.  I tried several times. The water presure was too high and caused the connections to come apart.

Watering Peas


When I went out to greenhouse five this morning, I discovered that I had left the water on, there was a big puddle of water under the fertilizer container.  I shut the water off the water, Then I got a water braker and began to spray the row of peas that Robert planted. That didn't work very well. I then took the water braker of and the water directly from the hose. Awhile later I walked backwards dragging the hose on the row of peas. I expect that they will germinate in a week from now.    I then watered Robert's fruit trees and Carol's pomegranate bush.

The Safe

Richard stayed overnight, I got up and started a roast in the crock pot.  I showed and got dressed, Richard gets up.  I turn thce radio on to listen to Sunday morning music.  Carol gets up and I fix breakfast, after breakfast Carol takes me to choir practice.  Our church meetings were good.  We had a good dinner.  I went into my bathroom to try again to unlock the safe.  It wouldn't unlock. 

I took this picture; it is a little fuzzy because there is not much light.  In the safe there were important documents. There were a lot of old coins.

Combination

 

Last night I went to bed thinking about finding the combination for the safe.  I had a dream about the location of the combination. It will be in a book.  I saw the book. It showed the combination on the inside cover. I tried many times following the directions and wasn't able to unlock the safe.  I think my hands are too shaky, Richard came this afternoon.  I had him try to unlock the safe. He couldn't do it either.  

I scattered the pomegranates in the garden; they were all rotten.  Some may germinate in the spring.  If they do, I will dig some up and put them in nursery pot and grow them in greenhouse five.  Lisa ordered a cable to charge my iPad last Thursday, it came tonight,

The Temple

We were up a little earlier than usual because of our 9:30 appointment at the Timpanogos temple. After breakfast we got in Lisa's car, and she drove us to Linden.  We had a good session.  Larry and Lessly at the temple. They were on the same session that we were on. After the session we had lunch at a Chines restaurant. 

Nyleen, Lisa, Larry, Leslie, Merrill, and Carol. On the way home we stopped at Walmart to see if someone there could fix my iPad. She couldn't. She said that it needed a new charge cable.  I used my old cable, and it is starting to charge.  Lisa ordered one before we left.  We drove home.  Lisa fixed a good supper.
