Cold Day

I slept in this morning.  but was able to watch the TV news and the morning channel 44 TV shows.  i made the old fashion oatmeal mush.  While it was cooking, I fed the cats.   I walked out to greenhouse five to water the plants there.  There is a valve in house two.  I turned it on the smallest amount which increased the water flow in house five.  I watered most of the plants.  I picked two pomegranates.  They had begun to open.  

Carol broke them open.  I tasted some of them, but they were not very sweet.

Most of the news today is about the elections.

Sunday and Monday

Sunday: I got up an hour early this morning.  I forgot to change the clock.  I fed the cats and there is a lot of them.   

Monday:  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  Elisha called and asked us to go to Fillmore.  It was eleven when we left Holden.  We dropped Elisha at the Fillmore Market.   We then went the Bank of Southern Utah where we deposited the money that Carol received from the sale of her car.  We then went back to the market.  Elisha soon came back.  It was to the drug store where Carol bought some greeting cards.  We then went home.  Carol stopped in front of Elisha's car.  

This is a test picture for cropping photos.

MONDAY:

I was on the phone with Dan Speakman for a long time.  I took this picture as a test.

I dug up the dahlias that were growing in the kidney.

This is one clump.  I took it into greenhouse five.  It is drying out one the cart.

I pot old growbags in the hole where there is a shut off valve.  This large nursery can has a hole in the bottom.  I put it over the stem and then filled the nursery can with more root control growbags.  This will prevent the PVC stem from freezing.

One of our cats died during the night in the bottom bunk of the cat house.  I  dug a hole in the south garden and buried it.

This floor mat one the back porch had some blood on it. I washed and scrubbed it with a broom.  It is hanging on the railing to dry.  I also washed the blood off the porch Steps. 

These are sweet potatoes, they are black and dirty.

Another picture.  The black one on the left is the mother sweet potato.

The same potato one the grass right after I dug it.

Fast Sunday

Day light saving time came to an end at two this morning.  I got up and checked my Apple device it showed the end of day light savings. I went back to bed.  later I got up.  I opened the front door.  There was about an inch of snow on the lawn. I showered, dressed, shaved and said my prayers.  I turned on the TV.  The snow had covered the satellite dish.  I cleaned it with a long-handled broom.  The TV reception was good.  I fed the cats. Carol prepared the food for dinner.  I made a batch of tapioca pudding.  We watched some of the channel eleven program.  We went to sacrament meeting.  There was not many people there because of the snow and time change.

There was two missionaries there.  Each gave a short talk.  A few others got up and gave short talks.  A few others got up and bore a testimony of the Savior.  The Sunday School meeting was pretty good.  We went home for a good dinner.  We watched more of channel eleven programming.  At 4:45 we went back to church where we met with the bishop to declare our donation.  We are both full tithing payers.

Visitors

I was up early this morning. It had snowed some during the night.  The TV wouldn't work because of the snow. I cleaned the dish with a long handle broom.   I turned on the TV and for some reason there was changing images.  I had to shut unplug the TV for about ten seconds.  I turned on the local news.  After breakfast I cut down all of the hibiscus stems and took them to the compost pile.  I then got the large cart.  There are two large flowerpots.  I put one on the cart and took to the garden west of the garage.  I was going to get the other one when a car stopped north of the house.   I entered the house through the back door.  I told Carol that she had company.  She went to the front door.      It was Larry and Leslie Peay.   Carol's brother and sister-in-law.  After a few hugs and handshakes, we went into the front room.  We visited and shared memories. I took several pictures.

The above photo is of Larry and Leslie Peay. 

This a fuzzy selfie.

I dug the last of the sweet potatoes and washed them in house five.   I removed all of the hanging baskets.  There were a couple of the potted dahlias which I took to house five.

Busy/Busy

 I drove to Fillmore to buy a 3/4-inch PVC pipe cap.  When I got home, I tried to cap the main water to greenhouse five.  I bought a one-inch cap.  So back to Fillmore I went.  I traded for a the 3/4-inch pipe.  After lunch I put it on tight. It worked.  There was water in house five.  I attached a half inch hose bibb and was able to attach a garden hose.  I watered most of the plants in house five.  I cut hibiscus plants to the ground.  A man from Roper's came and made some adjustments to the toilet tank.  We see in the morning.

Robert called and said that he had a buyer for our Hyundai.  The car has been parked on the driveway in front of our house and recently been covered with snow, with a broom I removed the last of the snow.  The car started right up and I drove it around a couple of blocks.  No problems.  A Mexican saw a car in Robert's yard.  The Mexican wanted to buy it.  Robert told him that his mother has a car in Holden.  Robert asked me to send a picture.  I tried and wasn't successful.  It soon got dark, and the doorbell rang.  It was the Mexican.  He didn't speak any English; He had an app on his phone the that translated Spanish to English.  I got a flashlight, and we walked out to the car. He checked the oil, looked in the trunk and got in the car.  We walked back to the house where he gave us five $100 dollar bills.  H got in the car and drove away.
