Robert Came

Carol woke me up this morning, for some reason the alarm on my phone didn't ring.  It was seven when I got up. I showed, dressed. We started breakfast. That is Carol and I started breakfast. A little while later, Robert came. The first thing that Robert did was to reconnect the two pieces of drip tape together. Robert pruned all of the fruit trees in greenhouse six. We were able to start the wood-chipper. We took it outside of greenhouse and set it up west of greenhouse six.  

This is a small stack of shredded fig bush. The branches were on the wheelbarrow in greenhouse five.
This what's left of the fig branches when we the fig shrubs. 
Robert Is picking up the small branches.
This is one of six peach trees that Robert pruned. I carried most of them to the west end of greenhouse six where the shredder was located.

Signs of Spring daffodils

 

We picked up Nyleen and went to the Mount Timpanogos temple.  After the session we took her home. She had a lunch for us, we then went to Sam's Club. We got some groceries and then drove home. Then we stopped at the post office.  There was no mail, but we posted two birthday cards. After we got home we put the groceries away. I put my work close one and then checked out the plants in greenhouse five. It was really hot in there. I turned on the fan. It soon cooled down.

This the big exhaust fan on the west end of greenhouse five,
It cooled down to 94 degrees.  I didn't want to leave the doors open.  I am trying to keep out the cats.  Here are the signs of spring:  one earwig, one yellow jacket, daffodils, butterfly.

It's About Gone

One of our gray cats was laying on a germination tables. I scared it out. It found a hole in the west end of the greenhouse.  It took me quite a while to get it close all of the holes that are close to the ground. I went back to the garage to get all of the tools that I needed.

This the west end of the door. It is taken from the inside.
This is the west of the door. I screwed a piece of plywood on the door.
This is a picture of the propagate bush that growing leaves. 
There are two large tubs of healthy chrysanthemums in greenhouse five.
The green arrow peas are looking good.

Melting Snow

Most of the snow has melted. However, the is still a lot of snow in the shade.

This afternoon I walked out to greenhouse five.  I watered the green arrow peas. They are coming up really well. I also watered the figs, The peach trees in greenhouse five will soon be blooming. This afternoon I decided to clean my tub.  I used a razor blade and scraped all the hard water build-up on the sides of the tub. I washed down the drain, Somewhere the drainpipe was plugged.  I went under the house to see if there was a trap that I could clean.  There wasn't. The tub does drain, but it is slow. I treated it twice with DRANO. It does drain a little faster.

Warmer

The house was warmer this morning when I got up. I didn't have to make old fashion oatmeal mush; I had three bowels left over from yesterday.  I fed the cats and cooked breakfast.  The twin kittens were up to eat.  Robert had planned on coming this morning. He called and said that he couldn't come. He said that he would come necks week. Watched some of the morning TV shows. We then picked up the mail and drove to Fillmore. We stopped at the drug store. Carol got some medication. Went to the Fillmore and bought some groceries, we then went home. We had warm-ups for lunch. I went out greenhouse five and watered the plants. One of Roberts peach trees has blossoms. I walked through house six. Some of the peach trees in it looks like they will soon bloom soon. Carol's pomegranate bush is growing green leaves. The peach trees south of house six haven't bloomed.  

The green arrow peas are beginning to grow.

Ward Conference

 

Sunday morning: I made a new batch of old fashion oatmeal mush and then fed the cats.  Richard got up and he said that he didn't feel well. He didn't eat anything. He didn't go to church.  It was ward conference and there were a lot of visitors from the Stake. The speakers and teachers did a good job. We came home. Richard was feeling much better.  He cooked steaks and did a good job. He used a lot of condiments. The really tasted good. He parked his four-wheeler on the patio. He then left.

Cold Morning

 



Saturday: It pretty dark outside when I got up. Richard was still in bed. I showered and made some old fashion oatmeal mush. The water for the cats was frozen; I fed them and started breakfast. After breakfast we watched the woodworking shows. Carol made some grilled cheese sandwiches. I picked up the mail and went out to greenhouse fjve and watered the peas. They are beginning to germinate. The picture doesn't show any peas germinating.
