This morning I watered the plants inside the house. I do this every Monday. I also watered the plants on the front porch. There are a few dry places on the front lawn that I watered. Carol went to her exercise class.
I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

It's dark when I get up now. I began this morning by making oatmeal mush, I then fed the cats. After Carol got up, I fixed breakfast. A little later I got the household garbage ready for the dump. I turned on the sprinkler on the back yard. I took some squash to the post office. later we went to the dump. BYU football team played the Arizona tigers this afternoon in Provo at 1:30. I tried to listen to the game on the internet. I couldn't find it. I then put the radio on the couch. I listened to the first quarter; I then found it on the internet. Carol found the game on TV. I was able to watch the fourth quarter.
We had frozen dinners for lunch. Carol made bacon and tomato sandwiches for supper. It was then more TV until we went to bed.
After breakfast I watered some plants in the garden. I picked some squash. I took them to the post office. It rained this morning
The topaz melon is about the size of a bowling ball.We left Holden this morning a little before eight. I fed the cats. We put on our Sunday clothes and drove Payson. When we got to the Payson temple it was closed for maintenance work. It will be for several weeks. We then went to Sams Club. We got some groceries and a bag of cat food. We then drove to Linden to visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen,
On the way home we stopped at the Red Barn. We bought bread, sweet corn and straw berries. Our next stop was in Nephi. We bought two ice cream cones,
We drove through Mona. They were putting new asphalt on the road.Carol did her hair while I fixed breakfast. I fed the cats. I then started the sprinkler on the back lawn. I let it run for thirty minutes and then changed it. I moved the sprinkler every half hour to different locations until the back lawn was watered. We had a stand which for lunch. I watered most of the front lawn and the pots and baskets.
I had a good sleep last night. After breakfast this morning I turned on a sprinkler and began to water the south end of the east lawn. There was a good spray. I left it on for 45 minutes. I then turned on the sprinkler to water the back lawn. It didn't spray far enough. I tried two sprinklers at the same time. That didn't work. I then picked some vegetables. I made two trips to the post office with the vegetables. I turned the water on the east lawn back on. I tried to water with two sprinklers, but it didn't work, I got a phone call from someone wanting native plants.
The above photo is an example of some of the vegetables that I picked and took to the post office. A friend of mine took all of them.
