Veterans Day

 


After breakfast I took the two hanging baskets out to the garden. I took the hangers of and cut them into small pieces and put them in the garbage in the garage. I wished that I didn't do that. We could have used the baskets for next year. 

It is Veterans Day. The young men and young women posted the flag,
This a photo of a bunch of baskets we can use next year. Carol and I took some old pots to the dump.

Car Serviced

This morning I watered the two hanging baskets and the plants on the porch. After lunch I mowed the front and east lawns. Yesterday I made an appointment to have our car serviced at three. I drove to Fillmore. I waited about a half hour. I then drove home. We had leftover potatoes for lunch. 

The lawn mower front tires are always flat. I put a past in the front tires. I then pumped them up. I shouldn't have that problem again,
Here it is November 10, and I ate the last of the topaz melon.
The flowers outside by Carol's bedroom window. We had frozen dinners for lunch.

Filter

This morning, Carol washed the sheets and bedding. Later this morning I cut down the three hibiscus plants that are on the front lawn. they have been dead for several months. While Carol was at her exercise class, I went under the house removed the filter and replaced it with a new one. When she got back, we had hamburger and cheese sandwiches. After lunch I went out to the garden and removed the gunny sack pieces and put them in the back of the truck. I stacked the tomato cages. I then picked a topaz melon. I cut in half, removed the seeds, 

It is not very big. It smells good.
Here is another photo. The melon is outside on a chair, 
Here is lead weights. There is two black nursery pots. They are about 25 pounds each.
Here is a photo of small nails. The would weigh about 25 pounds.

Tithing Declaration

Richard wasn't feeling well when we went to church. He stayed home. The classes were good. Later Richard left. This evening we went back to church for tithing declaration. We had a pleasant visit with the bishop Kurt Stevens.

Richard Came

Sometime after breakfast I tried to tune in to the BYU and University of Utah football game. I couldn't find it on the radio. Carol found it on TV. BYU was leading at half time. We had lunch and watched the second half. BYU lost. Carol made a good supper of hamburgers and creamy corn. We watched channel eleven movies.

Robert Came

Robert called and said that he was on his way to Holden. I thought that we would be putting the plastic on greenhouse five. That didn't happen. We worked all of the time getting house five ready for plastic. We took the plastic off greenhouses five and six. We made three trips the dump. It took two dumpsters to hold the plastic. A dead tree fell over a couple of weeks ago. I cut off some branches and put them in the back of the truck. Robert cut some more and we took them to the dump. Robert cut the tree in smaller pieces and was able to lift them in the truck.

This is a photo of the back yard after we cleaned it up.
Robert is loading some branches into the truck.
Another photo of Robert and the truck.
Here is a photo of some of the plastic.

Carol fixed us lunch. Robert put a light bulb in the ceiling light in the kitchen before he went home. Robert is coming back next Saturday which is a week from tomorrow.

Payson Temple

 
After breakfast we drove to the Payson Temple. After an inspiring session we drove to Costco to get some credit card cash. It took quite a while for the lady at the desk to get the information needed to give me the cash. It was a little over 200 dollars. We then drove to Sam's Club. We bought cat food, eggs, sweet potatoes, apple juice and grapes. We then stopped at Wendy's for hamburgers and drinks. Our last stop was in Nephi where we bought ice cream cones. Then home.
