Drought

 

After we watched the morning TV shows, we drove to the Fillmore market for groceries.  It is costing more for us to eat.  The lady at the register mentioned that we are praying for rain and snow.  We are fortunate that we have a well, The Holden town is making plans to drill a well.   We had pizza for lunch. This afternoon I went out to greenhouse five and watered the plants. The temperature there was 90 degrees.  I checked the hen house nests.  There were two eggs.  There three little hens and a rooster,

Cookies

I fed the cats.  The black kitten and the orange kitten came up to the back door and ate and ate and ate.  We watched the morning TV shows.  CR Charlesworth stopped by this afternoon, we bought oranges, mixed nuts, and chocolate we had warmups for lunch. I pealed an orange, The peal was easy to remove.

Elisia came over to make some cookies; she did it and Carol helped her every step of the way.

I took this picture while they were making cook dough. The cookies were very good.

Blooming

A regular Monday morning.  I watered all of the indoor plants.  I fed the cats and prepared breakfast. 

When watering the plants I notice that the Christmas cactus was blooming. It also had a few buds on it.  After lunch I walked out greenhouse five and watered the plants out there.  We took the house garbage out to the dump and drove around town some.

Fast Sunday

No breakfast this morning for us. Richard spent then night with us. The cats were the only ones that got to eat.  Carol prepared some potatoes for dinner and put them in the oven to bake.  We attended our church meetings.  When we got home, we had a good dinner.  Richard then left. We had leftovers for super.

The End

Today, Saturday, is the end of January.  This morning a little after breakfast we drove Fillmore and bought a bag of lay pellets.  We then filled the car with gas at LOVE'S. After that we then drove home.  Carol made two hot dog sandwiches for lunch.  This afternoon I opened the bag of lay pellets. Richard came this afternoon and had supper with us. 

Ice

Nothing unusual so far this morning.  There was a little bit of ice on the cat's watering dish, The orange kitten and the black kitten were eating the cat food, they run away when I open the kitchen door, but now the keep eating until they are full.  Carol made good hamburger sandwiches for lunch today, we also had sliced peaches for dessert.   I was missing a white sock. Carol found it in the pantry.

I picked all of the pomegranates.  I didn't count them but I five-gallon bucket nearly full.  I put them in the garage for the night.

The Market

I fed the cats and made a batch of old fashion oatmeal mush.  We had to watch the cat food to prevent the dogs from eating it.  Later I watched in the front room.  If I saw the dogs coming, I would be able to scare them away.  They didn't come.

This morning, we drove to the Fillmore market for some groceries.  After we got home, Carol made some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.  I was tired of sitting in the family room I went for a walk the yard.
