Payson & Linden

We headed north this morning. The traffic was pretty light all way to Payson. We stopped at the Payson temple and attended the session. After the session we stopped at Sam's Club and bought cat food and some groceries. We then drove to Linden and had a nice visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen. 

When we got home, I picked two ears of corn. We had a good rain for a few minutes. It didn't last long enough.
Nyleen had a beautiful flowering shrub. Carol picked three stems and brought them home.

 I watered the east lawn, and it took most of the day. I did a little weed eating. Carol went to her exercise class this morning.

Hospital

This morning after all morning the morning chores were done, Carol drove to the hospital for an MRI. It lasted for an hour. We then bought some groceries and then drove home. This afternoon, Todd Troseth came to measure for some railings for the front porch, 

Two of his boys came back and built a pattern for the railings.
The hibiscus flowers are really pretty.

Air

 


We took a bunch of vegetables to the post office. I didn't take a picture. I saw Calico, the cat that stopped on our front porch every day.  I then drove to Fillmore and had them adjust the air in the tires. Carol watered the baskets and tubes on the front porch. She also started the water on the front lawn. I watered the front lawn, the back lawn, the lawn west of the driveway, and the lawn west of the garage. We went to the post office picked up the tote. All of the vegetables were gone except for a yellow crookneck squash and a zucchini. We tried to watch Rosemary and Tyme. The battery on the remote died. We finally got the TV to come on.

Back to Normal

 

This morning we were home alone. I watered some plants in the yard.  For breakfast we ate food that was left over from our trip. We attended our church meetings. The speakers and teachers were good. We ate some of the same thing for lunch. A few more leftovers for supper. I watered most of the back lawn this afternoon. I moved the sprinkler to different locations every half hour or so.

My alarm thinks it still is in Los Vegas and woke me up at 5:30. I went back to bed and slept too long. Carol got up and we fixed breakfast. Lisa got up. I watered the plants in out yard. I also started the water in the garden.

The peonies were really dry. The were five plants. I let the garden hose run each one until they had a good soaking. 
The hibiscus plants are blooming now. this one is in the lawn.
This hibiscus is one the front lawn at the end of the sidewalk.

Our Trip

Late Wednesday night, Lisa came. After we exchanged greetings, we went to bed. Lisa slept in Richard's bedroom. Thursday morning, after breakfast we got in Lisa's car, and she drove to the home of Leslie Anne Belhasen. I took us most of the day. Lisa arranged for us to stay at a bed and breakfast in Las Vegas, Nevada. The funeral services were really good. I took a few pictures of the lunch that was served after the funeral.

This is me, Carol, Anne, Leslie, Larry.
