Wind Damage

My phone did ring this morning, but I did get up at 6:20. After breakfast. We watched some of the morning TV shows. Carol went to her exercise class. We drove to Fillmore for gas and then bought a few groceries. We stopped at the auto parts store and got the lawn mower belt and battery charger. Wind blew really hard during the night and blew some of the plastic off greenhouse six. 

We saw some hummingbirds flying around in front of the house. I took the old feeder into the house and Carol emptied out the old sugar water and put in some fresh sugar water. I put the new ones back. The one on the left was easy. The one on the right was much harder. I gave a hard push. It went one the hook. I lost my balance fail on my right arm and of my head hit the hard ground. 

This is the right feeder.

I had to move the chipper under some greenhouse plastic.  It wouldn't get rained on.

The meeting today was very good. There was a large choir and inspiring speakers, After the meeting we went home to a good dinner.

Killing Weeds

I went around the yard and shut off the water. It was running to keep from it freezing.

I cut down on the mustard weeds that were growing in greenhouse two with the weed eater. I did it to keep them from growing seeds.

I started the water in green house six but it didn't run long.

This cactus has three flowers,
