Hot Day

 After breakfast this morning I started the water on the plants in the garden. I watered each row. It was a little difficult to keep the water in the row because dirt or mud clogged the water. I eventually got the garden watered. Carol went to her fitness class. After she came home, we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. We then stopped at the market and bought a lot of groceries. The next stop was at the drug store. Carol made sandwiches for lunch. I watered the baskets and tubes. It is really hot.

Adam Remkes came and looked at the linking faucets. He will be back next week with a kit to fix them. This evening Carol and I went for a short ride around Holden. 

Carol picked the first cucumber; it is about six inches. For some reason it curled.
These are some flowers growing in the dahlia garden.
I put the sprinkler in the dahlia garden to water the dahlia wasn't getting any water,
I cut the yellow potatoes into thin pieces and fried them. The tasted really good.

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

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.
