Wednesday

 

Carol went to the doctor this morning. She hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days. Her appetite was at 11:30. We were there plenty early. After a while a nurse took us into the exam room. Later the technicition came in and checked heart and her lungs. We then went home and had hotdog sandwiches.

Fixed Leaking Pipe

Everything was pretty normal this morning.  I decided to replace the coupler.  I dug the old coupler out and drove to Roper's to get a replacement part. 

The seeds in the germination tray are coming up. 

I replaced the broken pipe.

I cut out the broken piece.

This is the old cupler that I cut out. I took it to Roper's and got me a new piece.

Really Fixed

 

The shower curtain fell down last night. This morning I fixed it up a little and was able to shower before it fell again. I fed the cats and made batch of old fashion oatmeal mush.  I started the roast in the slow cooker. I scrabbled two eggs and then fried an egg for Carol. Richard got up. I fried two eggs for him. I then made some tapioca pudding. I went to church. Carol and Richard didn't go because they were sick, Sacrament meeting and Sunday school were good. Carol fixed a good dinner. Richard didn't eat any dinner. Before Richard left we fixed the shower curtain rod so it will stay in place.

We took some electrical wire that was used for the telephone and wrapped it around the shower rod and taped it to the wall. We used several layers of duct tape. The photo is of the left shower wall. We did the same to the right shower wall.

Shower Curtain Fixed

Richard was gone when I got up. When he returned, he said that he had to go back to work to fix a problem.  I was able to shower by carefully getting the tub. I showered and then carefully got out of the tub. I dressed and watched the morning news; I fed the cats and fixed breakfast. I picked up the mail. Carol made cheese and baloney sandwiches for lunch. Richard helped me fix the shower curtain so it won't come down.

I checked on the plants in greenhouse five. The fig bushes have been growing leaves. But today I saw several of the bush with small young green figs.

Many of the seeds in this germination tray are beginning to germinate. The cucumber and topaz melon and watermelon seeds are germinating. I planted more potatoes in greenhouse six. I watered the with two buckets of water.

Two boxes for Richard came a couple of days ago. He worked part of the afternoon putting it together. The boxes contained a small tent, matres, pillow. It has a long zipper. 

With the warmer weather, we are expecting hummingbirds. Carol prepared the sugar water. This is on the west side of the front porch.

This is on the eastside of the porch. It is a black and white photo because it was cloudy when I took the picture.

Shower Curtain

Last night when I went to bed the shower curtain had fallen down, I took to the family room to keep out of the way. This morning when I got up I put the show curtain back up and was able to shower. As soon as I finished, it came down again. I watched the morning news. I fed the cats and fixed breakfast. We watched the morning TV shows. Carol left for her exercise class. I went back to my bathroom and after several tries, the shower curtain is in place. I don't know how long it will stay up.

There was a potato in the pantry that was grow sprouts. I cut into four pieces yesterday and planted them in greenhouse six this morning.

Robert and Dusten

 

I was still eating breakfast when Robert came. I finished mt breakfast and then turned the power onHe had an extension cord hooked up to the compressor. He was going to start our tractor. It has been years since we had it running. It runs diesel fuel. Dusten brought his truck to the tractor to charge the tractor battery, The fuel filter leaked. They drove to Fillmore and got a new filter. They finally got it started, Robert drove it over to get the tree spade. Todd Troset had a tractor that could lift the tree spade and put it on the trailer. Todd was working on a ditch and couldn't come. Dusten backed his trailer and began to load it on his trailer, The got it loaded. Dusten secured it to the trailer and hauled it away. Robert then drove home.

I could have taken plenty of pictures but I only got one and I took this one after Dusten left.

The Docter.

A short time after breakfast we went to Fillmore where I had an appointment with a doctor. He tested me for several different things; He sent several prescriptions to the drug store. We stopped at the drug store and picked them up, we then got our mail, One of the pills had to be taken with. We had lunch a little later and I then swallowed my pill,
