State Bank

 

This morning after breakfast I watered the baskets and tubs. I didn't water in any of the greenhouse because of the good rain that we got yesterday. We drove to Fillmore. Carol bought a lot of greeting cards. We then went to state bank to get my laptop fixed. It took them a long time, but they got it fixed. We then came home for lunch. Carol made hotdog sandwiches. We had frozen TV dinners for supper and a dish of ice cream.

I took a photo of a half-moon in the southeast sky.

What little poly that was on greenhouse five blew off the west end.

Dermatologist

This morning after breakfast I watered the plants on the front porch and in greenhouse five. I also watered the potatoes. We watched TV. We didn't have lunch. Instead, we went to Fillmore clinic to be exsamed by the dermatologist. 

The weather was bad. There was no TV reception. I tried to fix it but failed.

The flowers in the dahlia garden got a good soaking.

The vegetable garden really got wet. 

The water was running of the roof.

The rain was coming down very fast.

The dermatologist removed a large scab on my cheek.

The peaches and cream sweet corn is showing silk.
 

Tuesday

 

Another trip to Fillmore.  We didn't stay long. As soon as we got home, I watered the plants on the front porch. I began to water the front lawn. I also watered the plants in greenhouse five, this afternoon it started to rain. 

This is the garden after the rain had stopped. 

This a photo of the rain coming off the roof.

Monday

 

I turned off the water that was running on the pine trees and started the water on the last pine tree. I fixed the drip that was running on the dahlias. I watered the baskets and the grapes in greenhouse five. I also watered the potatoes. We drove to the Fillmore clinic. Carol was examined by a medical person. We then bought some groceries. Our next stop was at Ropers. I some hose connectors. I checked out the greenhouses.

I put the garden hose in the pomegranate shrub this morning, I forgot about it and it was still running this afternoon. I tipped it over some and removed some of the water.

Turned Off

 

I turned the water off that had been running all night on the pine trees that are growing north of the north garden. I fed the cats. The mystery cat showed up this morning. We then had breakfast. I watered the baskets and tubs. I turned on the water in the dahlia garden. I also watered the potato vines and the grape vines that are growing in greenhouse five. Carol walked out to the north garden. She did some weeding and also picked two cucumbers. 

Something is eating chrysanthemums growing in a flower bed outside the bedroom window. We think that there are some earwigs eating the leaves. I put out an olive oil trap. There is a wire basket over the oil to keep the cats from drinking it.

the sweet corn is. tasseling

Another picture.

I got this picture of a stink bug walking on the driveway. I kicked it before it could get on the grass. It landed upside down but quickly got back on its feet. The weather is hot. Richard called. He is feeling better.

I found another garden hose. It was missing the female end. I found one in the garage. I turned some water on two pine trees. The water is running slowly on the two trees. 

Carol made some zucchini bread. It was really good.

I sliced potatoes and then fried them. They were good.

I was looking for something by the shed. I drug out several pieces of CVD pipe that has been laying in the weeds for several years. 

Richard Called

 

This morning we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. There is a lot of road construction going on. We waited for a long time to get next to a gas pomp. We then waited a long time to get back on the road. We then bought groceries at the market. Then home.

There are five pine trees north of our north garden that are suffering some because of the lack of water. I hooked op a hose and let the water trickle at the base of the tree.

The topaz melon plant is now growing branches. I watered it some this afternoon.

I picked a couple of zucchini plants. One is large. A neighbor also gave us some.

Richard called. He has covid. 

Payson Temple

 

We left Holden this morning headed to the Payson temple. After the session we went to Sam's club and bought a carload of groceries and paper products. We then drove to Linden. We had a nice visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen.

This is not a good picture because of the bright light coming through the window. Carol is on the left and Nyleen is on the right.

The sweet corn in our garden is starting to tassel.
