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.

It Works

 

This morning when I got up there was a little more snow.   I began to clean it off the front driveway. There was about a half inch, but under it there was bumpy frozen bumpy ice. I went to the post office. there was no mail. There was no snow on main street, but it was wet. I watered the plants in greenhouse five. I cleaned the snow of the front porch sidewalk. Carol fixed hot dog sandwiches for lunch.

I worked on the phone system for a long time and I think that I got it figured out, There is a phone on the table in the family room which in the picture above.  There is a phone identical to the above phone is in the master bedroom. the third phone has a place one the coffee table. 

This how the front sidewalk looked when I got up this morning. I cleaned off the snow. Richard showed up this evening.  He will spend the weekend with us. He was here and supper with us.

New Phones

 

This morning, we drove to the Fillmore Market for some groceries. It was supposed to snow but it wasn't.  It was snow pretty hard when we left the store.  We drove home on frontage road. We pricket up the mail and then drove home. Lisa ordered new phones and they were here this afternoon.  The box contained three phones; they were identical to the phones that we have.  I worked most of the afternoon getting them to work. There were three phones.  One for the family room and one for the bedroom.  We haven't determined where to put the third phone.  Some boys from the ranch cleaned the snow off our driveway.

Carol made some cheese grilled sandwiches for lunch.  I also had a bowel of soup. The phone range. Carol answered it. A neighbor called. I tested the phone by calling Carol answered it, I went into my bedroom and called. She answered it. Everything looked good until I went outside.  There was a cold wind blowing and it came from the southwest. After breakfast, I walked out to greenhouse five.  The temperature on the thermostat 64 degrees.  There were two peas that germinated.  I Didn't water anything; we are having trouble with Carol's phone.  Every time I call here there is a busy signal, this afternoon her phone rang. Carol answered it. It was the first time the phone rang for several weeks. It was a neighbor, I called her, she answered it. I went into my bedroom and called again. She answered it.  The doorbell rang.  It was CR Charlesworth. We bought some of his produce.
