Didn't Go

We got up this morning to the Payson temple. Carol didn't feel well so we didn't go. I picked the sweet corn; I then shucked it.

I put the sweet corn in the freezer.

Carol cut the corn of the cob and then put it on aa cookie sheet. She then put is in the freezer. The above photo was taken after it was frozen. Then I helped put it in a zip bag.

I turned on the water for the dahlia garden. One of the zip line came off. I fixed it. 

The wind blew most of the polly off house five. I cut it away so I could go in and out of house five,

This is a tote of the sweet corn,

Sprayed Weeds

 

Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I sprayed the puncture vines.

We to Fillmore

took my tablet.

Supper, we had sweet corn.

Surprise

The day started out as usual. Except there were lots of hummingbirds around the bird feeder. It also rained during the night.

I picked some corm yesterday. Carol blanched it yesterday and we put in zip bags and then put it in the freezer that is in the garage.

This is the surprise; Todd Troseth and his boys installed the railing this morning. They did an excellent job. 

A close-up of the railing and the baskets of flowers.

Here they are attaching the railing to the concrete steps.

Another photo.

I am standing on the front porch when I took this photo.

There is almost one half inch of rainwater in this frying pan on our patio. This afternoon I dug up puncture weed.

This basket was hanging on the front porch. Carol thought that we should hang it on a tree east of the driveway. It will be easy to water.

This basket is hanging on the lilac tree.

The hummingbirds' drank all of the previous sugar water.

This a big tub full of puncture weeds.

Humming Birds

When I got up this morning, I thought that it was the first day of September, but it wasn't. I water the house plants on the first Monday of the month. So that is what I did. I started up the lawn mower. I was going to mow the front lawn, but I ended up mowing the front lawn, the east lawn and the back lawn.

There is two redbud seedlings growing by the front porch. This is one of them.

There is a hummingbird feeding at the left side of the bird feeder.

There are a lot of hummingbirds flying around. Carol made a fresh batch sugar water for the hummingbirds.

Another photo of the feeder.

The freshly mowed lawn.

A tree by the chicken coop. Grape vines growing to the top of it.

A good picture of the hummingbird.

This cactus is blooming.

Some animal took a couple of bites out of this spoiled cucumber. Probably a deer. I went out to the garden to pick sweet corn. The wind was blowing, it was cold and it started to rain. I went back to the house, The wind soon stopped and the rain quit.  I then went out to the garden,

I shucked the corn and put it in the fridge. We will freeze tomorrow.

Sunday

Sometime after breakfast we went to church. The speakers were good. It was the fifth Sunday, so I didn't have make any preparations for the meeting. After the meetings, I watered the plants on the porch. I went out to the garden and watered the topaz melons

I found this large cucumber.

I found a smaller cucumber. I found another topaz melon

Part of the garden turned into a weed patch as shown in the above photo.

This is a new topaz melon that I found the other day.

This is a bigger one.

And this is the biggest one.

Sweet Corn

 

This morning after breakfast I took a box of yellow squash to the post office and pot in "share the harvest" shelf. When I got home, I picked sweet corn. I shucked it. we had Carol's famous soup for lunch. We drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. I took my lap to Dan Speakman. He checked it to see if there were any problems. There weren't any, I had him copy the phots that were on my phone to my tablet. He did. Carol was at the market and bought some groceries, after we got home it rained hard for a couple of minutes and then quit.

We froze the corn and put it in the freezer.

Here is a tray of frozen corn,

I picked it and helped Carol cut the corn off the cob.

Here I have the corn in a tote.

Payson Again

We got an early start this morning. We went to the Payson temple. We met some friend for the 9:40 session. After the session we stopped at Wendy's for hamburger sandwiches and drinks. We then stopped at Nephi for ice cream cones. I watered the plants on the front porch. I tried for a long time and then took the state bank in Fillmore. Someone there worked on it for over an hour. They fixed so I could pay my bills. While I was gone Carol made some good soup. I had a bowl of it and a Nutella sandwich. I then got my laptop out and paid two bills.

Two topaz melons. This is the larger one.

This the smaller topaz melon.

I picked a whole bunch of yellow squash.

The peaches and cream sweet corn is really good,
