Off to Fillmore

 

After breakfast I watered the topaz melons. There are two melons. One is much larger than a softball and the other one the size of a tennis ball. I then watered the baskets and tubes. I haven't watered the plants in greenhouse five for some time. I watered the fig plant. some of them had small green figs on them. I went into greenhouse six. Some the fig plants had ripe figs. I ate six or seven figs. They were really sweet. We drove to Fillmore where Carol met with a medical assistant. After the exam he gave her a prescription and some instructions. We got a few groceries and then came home. For some reason I was not able to pay my bills. This afternoon I went to the dermatologist at the Fillmore clinic.  

i still can't pay my bills.

Hot, Hot, Hot

After breakfast this morning, I cleaned the Walla Walla onions. I cut off the tops and put the onions in a bucket, Next, I put the onions in a wooden crate.

This is the crate which helps them dry.
This is the five-gallon bucket.
This a picture of the onions I took a few days ago. I watered the baskets and the plants in the back yard, Then I watered the plants in the garden. We had the left-over spaghetti for lunch. The pomegranate plant is beginning to look healthy.

Temple Again

This morning I watered the baskets and pots on the front porch. As soon as breakfast was over, we drove to the Payson Temple. We on the 9:40 session. Some of the same people the 9:40 session last week. Somebody had some kind of medical emergency. There was an ambulance at the temple. We called Carol's sister Nyleen Batty. We were going to visit her in Linden. She didn't answer. We stopped at Wendy's and got two hamburgers and drinks. We stopped in Nephi for ice cream cones.

This afternoon wheb we got home I watered the baskets and pots on the front porch. I started to water the garden. I took the following photos.

I picked the yellow squash and one zucchini on the right.
I quit watering the cucumber plants because I didn't want to eat any more cucumbers, Carol wanted to continue taking them to the post office. I started watering them again.
I picked some squash. Took a picture and then found some more squash.
This is a photo of two squash that grew together.
The topaz melon is a little bigger each day, Almost the size of a tennis ball.
