Richfield

 After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.

I took this picture of our front porch this morning. It has been a long time that I have took a picture, edit it and then posted it. This afternoon we drove to Richfield. Carol had an appointment with her doctor. There was a lot of road improvements which stopped traffic. 

This was a practice photo to see if the camera would work. I was facing the sun.

This is a photo of the hospital. Carol's appointment on the second floor.

We parked just west of the hospital.

There was a lot road work going south of Scipio. We were parked on the highway for a long time. On the way home we didn't have to stop, but we drove home at a decent speed.

To Payson

 

After breakfast this morning we drove to Payson for a session at the Payson temple. When we arrived and parked, we walked to the temple. Our temple recommends were scanned. Our recommends expespired a couple of days ago. We drove back home.  We then drove to Fillmore and gassed up the car.   I stopped at Roper's to get some parts for the tap in greenhouse five. We then stopped at Lillies for lunch. After lunch I watered the plants in the garden. Carol watered the tubs and baskets on the front porch. I wasn't able to fix the tap. It still leaks a lot of water.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

What a Day?

Carol did some weeding in the garden. She was gone a long time; I thought that she might have fell down. I went out.  Later we planted some more peaches and cream sweet corn, I planted some a couple of weeks ago. Some did not germinate. So, I dug a small hole and Carol put in some seeds and then I covered them. I stayed out longer watering them.

I went to Fillmore to have my laptop fixed.  I then stopped at Roper's to get a tap. I tried to install it in greenhouse five. The connecting part was put together wrong. I went home to fix it. I got it right, but it was too large and wouldn't fit.

Two of my neighbors fixed the garage door. When we shut the door, it wouldn't stay down. They worked on it a little while. It now stays down.

After we planted the corn, I watered it.

I found these watering strings in the shed.

A robin grabbed the end of this string and pulled it away. I wound it around this can.

Grapes in greenhouse five,

Flowers/Vegetables

This morning we went to Fillmore. I had to have some blood work done. We went to the hospital where a nurse took some blood samples. We came home and a message on the phone was to go back to the hospital and they took one more sample. We stopped at the feed store and got a few more plants.

After lunch we took the household garbage to the dump. Later in the afternoon, we planted more flowers in the kidney and more vegetables in the garden.

The Fifth Sunday

 

After breakfast this morning we went to church. We were early for sacrament the meeting, The speakers were from a group young men and young women that graduated from seminary. They did a good job. Since it was the fifth Sunday there was no Sunday school. The bishopric conducted the meeting. The topic for the was the celebrating 250 yeas of the constitution.  There was video of two members of the quorum of twelve apostles. They spoke of it being inspired. I watered most of the plants in the garden,

The Kidney

 

After breakfast I went out to greenhouse five. I worked out there picking green arrow peas. some of them were pretty ripe. Carol shelled them, froze them and put them in the freezer.

We put all of the plants we bought at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. We planted them in the kidney. 

Topaz & Irrigation

After I got up, I fed the cats and realized that I needed to make some old fashion oatmeal mush. I started to make some. I opened the fridge and there was a bowel of mush. We ate breakfast. Now I have three bowels of mush. I found an old garden hose that has been in the weeds for years. I cleaned it. I planted seven groups of topaz melon seeds in the north garden. We drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. Before we went home, we stopped at Roper's for some garden hose attachments. I got my weed eater and cut a lot of weeds by the tap; I hooked the hose to the tap and pot the other end on the row Topaz melons. The were soon watered. Carol made soup for lunch. I watered the baskets and tubs on the front porch. I found another hose that had several hose clamps that I salvaged. We had pizza for supper.

Payson

 

It was about eight when we left Holden for Payson. We had our Sunday close on because we did a session at the temple. The session room was nearly full. After the session was over we went to Walmart, Carol bought annual flowers. 

After we got home, I unloaded the beading plants.

A deer ate three plants that we planted yesterday. They even pulled them out of the ground. I covered most of the plants tree baskets.

This picture shows the tree baskets and the irrigation.  

More irrigation and tree cages to protect the tomato plant.

Wrong Size

This morning everything was pretty normal; I drove to Fillmore to get smaller hose connector. I didn't need one. I had put it together wrong. I got right. I was able put it the right way.

It is a clowdy day, but no rain.

I planted a row of peaches and cream sweet corn. Here it is being irrigated.

Memorial Day. The flag is posted in our front yard. 

Robert and Jeanne were here for Memorial Day. I fixed the leak in the drip waterer that waters the dahlias. I turned the on the water, I got a lot of Foxtel seeds in my socks. This evening I went out and cut down the weeds. Tonight I turned the water off.

Robert and Jeanne

We didn't have our usual breakfast. We had old fashion oatmeal mush. Robert and I walked around the nursery. He started the water running on the potatoes. The screen was plugged. he fixed it. We went to the park where the town had a Memorial Day lunch. Robert and Jeanne went home. 

I planted another row of Peaches and Cream sweet corn. I also watered it. Carol watered the baskets and tubs She also watered the front lawn that was just east of the driveway,

I couldn't water the peas.

I found a garden hose that was hooked to the pressure tank. It took me quite a long time to get it into greenhouse five,

Sunday

We visited the cemeteries in Sutherland and Delta. This is the headstone for my grandpa and grandmother Sampson.

This is the headstone for our baby. He lived for an hour,

This the headstone for Robert and Jeannes baby boy that lived just hours,

I forgot to start slow cooker. After I showered and dressed, I notice that the slow cooker setting on the kitchen counter. I put the roast in. I fed the cats and fixed breakfast.

The speakers did a good job. The choir provided inspiring music.

Cemetery

 

This morning we loaded the plants in the car and went to Provo. The traffic wasn't too bad. Carol dose driving and went right to the Provo cemetery. We took seven flowering pots and placed them at several locations at the cemetery and placed them by the head stone. We went to Sam's Club and bought some groceries. We then drove to a store where they sale shoes. I had look in several stores before I found the right store. My shoes and slippers were worn out. We then went home. After we got home I watered the baskets and the shrubs and trees in greenhouse five,

We drove to Nyleen's house and a nice visit with her. A friend was there where we took this selfie. 

I took this picture in front of a larger mirror.

Flowers

Yesterday we went to the Payson temple. After the session we stopped at the Payson Walmart and bought apple juice and grapes. We then went to Wendy's where we bought some lunch. When we got Nephi, we bought ice cream cones. We then went to Fillmore where we bought flowers for Memorial Day. 

Carol finished transplanting the bedding plants into these large tubs,

Here Carol is transplanting the bedding plants,

I put several sprinklers on the kidney. I finally got one that would work.

Here are the chrysanthemums that we bought at the market in Fillmore.

More Water

The following photos were taken recently. Carol made a quart of sugar water for the hummingbirds. I couldn't hang it in the regular position. I got a stepladder and she hung it in the center of the front of the porch,

A deer walked the center of greenhouse five. There were tracks left on the ground.

I turned a sprinkler on the front lawn.

I fixed the sprinkler.  

Frost on the Garage

I could see frost on top of the garage when looked out from the back porch. Carol washed the dirty cloths and in then the bottom of the washer there was some coins. We got them out. After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows. I got the mail. There was a letter from RHODES PUMPS. He is the one that fixed the well. The total came to $ 4797.10. It was more than I thought. Carol paid it. We then drove to Fillmore. We bought some groceries and then went to the drug store where Carol bought some birthday cards. After we got home Carol made some sandwiches for lunch.

After lunch I turned on the sprinklers on the back lawn. There was a small spray. I turned the sprinklers off and dug the sprinklers up. It was plugged up. I cleaned it up. I turned the water back and it now spraying really good. Later in the day I saw a deer in the orchard. I went out and scared it a way. That deer came to the house and was standing on the patio just a few feet from the house, Carol banged her fist on the door and scared it away,

Surprise !!! Snow

It was a surprise to see snow in our yard. The TV wasn't working when we went to bed last night. There must have been stormy weather that interfered with the satellite signal. I put on my work shoes and my coat and went out. The snow was heavy on the tree branches that it blocked the TV signal; I went out two more times. The TV began to work properly. I watered the peas.

It was warm weather when Richard brought these hanging baskets. One was from Richard and one was from Lisa. The baskets got pretty cold last night, but the seem to be okay.

There chrysanthemums pots that didn't look damaged.

This is a shrub that grows on both sides of the porch. It is showing new growth.

This cactus plant has new flowers. The only last a couple of days.

Most grape vines in greenhouse five are showing new buds.

We went Fillmore and bought these bedding plants.

Another picture of the same bedding plants. They have been out sided. They were all wet after the rain and snow last night. They seem to be okay,

I mowed quite a lot of weeds with the weed eater this spring, I mowed until the battery died. 

Onions and peaches and sweet corn are planted in the north garden, some are coming up. They have been watered several times.

The dahlias are beginning to grow.
