We were up early this morning. I put on my suit. I fed the cats, took my medication, and then prepared breakfast. I was careful eating breakfast because I did not want to spill any food on my suit.
I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

Walk Outside
I wrote down the dimensions as shown in the above photo. I will take it with us the next time we go to Fillmore.
The plants in house five looked like they needed more water. I turned it on for about forty minutes.
The temperature in house five was almost at eighty degrees.
A surprise in the hen house. Five eggs. I haven't checked it for a couple of weeks. I washed them and put them in the fridge.
There was some cat throw up on the front porch. I brushed it off with one of my larger brooms. It took me quite a long time to get my photo up so I could crop them. We then watched TV until we went to bed.

What Works
Same routine this morning as yesterday. After breakfast I turned on the channel 44 programs. lunch and supper were leftovers from our Sunday dinner three days ago.
After lunch I walked out to greenhouse five. I watered some of the plants in the greenhouse with the garden hose. The above photo shows a pepper plant that died. It is a little green in the center of the picture.It took me a while to figure out the photo. It is the raised bed where I planted carrots last year. I pulled two up. One has several roots. It is on the left side of the photo. Was going to mow up the leaves on the back lawn, I walked out to the shed to get the lawmower. It was way too muddy.
I watered the pomegranate shrub with the garden hose.
The sun was shining on greenhouse five. It was about seventy-five degrees. I worked at getting my tablet to work correctly. I wasn't successful. We were going to the Timpanogos temple in the morning. We decided not to go because there was a weather forecast for snow. We watched TV until it was time to go bed.

Timpanogos Temple
We went to bed pretty early last night. We had to get up early for our temple appointment. I slept pretty good last night. It was about five thirty when we got up. After showering I put on my Sunday suit. I started the old fashion oatmeal mush, I fed the cats the last of the cat food. I started breakfast of toast, eggs, and mush. It was about 7:15 when we drove out of Holden.
The sunrise around Scipio was very colorful.A little later I took this picture. We had a good session.
I was standing on the Batty driveway when took this picture of the Mount Timpanogos. There is a lot of snow on those mountains.
I took this picture of the Lindon temple which is under construction. We stopped at Sam's Club for groceries and cat food. We bought a few other things. I asked a couple of computer specialist to see if the could fix my phone. I am not able to call anyone, and no one can call me. They weren't interested in fixing it. They wanted to sale me a new phone. We then went to the Payson Walmart. Two clerks worked on the phone for quite a long time. They finally fixed it, I called Robert. He answered. We then started for home. We stopped at the Mavric gas station and bought gas. We then drove the rest of the way home. We picked up the mail. It was a little after four when we parked the car in the garage.
