More Watering

After breakfast I found a long garden hose and drug it to Robert's fruit trees south of greenhouse six. I wanted to water his fruit trees.

This a short section of a garden hose which allowed me to connect to the well water.

Here I am running water on one of Robert's fruit trees.

Another fruit tree.

This is a photo of a fruit tree. The trees have really been dry.

This shows the short section of tap and the hose bibb.

I removed the timing clock.

Here is a connection.

I got an envelope of topaz melon seeds.

Payson Temple

We left early for the Payson temple. We found a parking spot close to the temple doors. We waited in the chapel and walked a short distance to the session room. After the session we drove to the Red Barn and found a handicap parking spot. We bought six ears of sweet corn; we got Ice-cream cones in Nephi. A little we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. WE bought some groceries at the market.  We drove up and down main street looking for the place where a person could get a haircut. After lunch I watered the baskets and tubs on the front yard.  I picket the large topaz melon. Carol cut it in half and removed the seeds. She then cut the flesh into small pieces and put them in the fridge.

I put the seeds in a newspaper starting the process of drying the seeds.

This is the topaz melon some scales. It weighs six pounds. 

This is the topaz melon on a lawn chair.

This is a picture of the red barn. We were able to park in front of the handy cap sign. 

The chrysanthemums blooming on the front porch.

Carol removed the seeds out of the topaz melon.

Robert's fruit trees are suffering because there hasn't been much rain. 

Tuesday

Nothing unusual this morning. Later we made ice cream.

After we finished, we ate a large bowel of homemade ice cream.

From the beginning to the end, it took about an hour to finish.

First Day

This morning after breakfast we took a large black bag to the dump. When we got back home, we went out to the garden and picked some squash and peppers. I took them to the post office. We received a call from our neighbor. Her husband, Ross had died. He was very sick; we watched the morning news and TV shows. Carol went to her exorcise class. After she got back, we went to Fillmore and filled the car with gas, we bought some groceries and then drove home. Carol made some roast beef sandwiches that were very good.

Sunday Session

 

I was a little late getting up this morning. I put the roast in the slow cooker. I fed the cats. Carol got up a little later. We had breakfast. I made tapioca pudding. There was a small deer in our back yard. It soon ran away. I watered the plants and baskets in the front yard. We watched the morning session general conference. The music and speakers were inspiring. We had baked potatoes, a roast, and tapioca pudding. 

Saturday Session

 

We watched the morning news and then the morning TV programs prior to general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At ten we watched conference. The speakers and music were inspiring. The session ended at twelve. I had at TV dinner. Two hours later we watched the afternoon session. It was another inspiring session. At five I listened to the BYU football game. BYU won. 

Payson Temple

 

It was about eight when we left Holden this morning. Traffic was pretty normal. We found a handy cap parking space. We had a good session and left. We usually stop at Wendy's for a sandwich, but it was too early for that. We then stopped at the Red Barn. It was hard to find a place to park. We went inside got some sweet corn and raspberries. There was a line up getting out. There were two ladies in front of us. After visiting some we determined that they were Latter-day-Saints. We stopped in Nephi and got some ice cream cones. Carol made a couple fried egg sandwiches. I went to Fillmore and got my "mouse" that I left there yesterday, I bought some groceries. I watered the plants in the front yard. Elisha Bills came over. She wanted some distilled water. We had some. She gave Carol two dollars. She visited awhile and then went home.

No Show

 

We were supposed to go to the Payson temple this morning, but Carol has been sick with a cold, therefor we didn't go. We fixed breakfast and fed the cats. After breakfast we watched some of the morning news and some TV shows. I picked some yellow squash and went to the post office. When I got home, I made an appointment to the Payson temple for tomorrow. I watered the kidney. I pruned off some of the tomato plant branches. 

The Middle

The start of the day was pretty normal. I turned on the morning news. After breakfast I went out to greenhouse three to get some burlap to cover the topaz melons. Instead, I dug some potatoes. The potato plants were hard to find. I then picked some figs that were growing in greenhouse six.

A dish of figs. The taste so good.

A few small potatoes.

This is the sweet potato after I removed the foil.

This is after mashed and added salt and melted butter. So good.

I covered the topaz melons with burlap. I then the tomato cages on top of them to prevent the wind from blowing them off. This afternoon I mowed the front lawn. The mower worked well. I got two bags of leaves and grass,

I got a picture of two kittens, The orange one on the left and the black one on the right. There is a gray kitten that runs away. They are triplets.

The above photo is of the front lawn, and the photo below also is the front lawn.

More to come. I got out my weed eater and trimmed around the front yard.

Good Rain

After I got up, showered and dressed I turned on the TV to the morning news: there was no signal. I went out to the dish and was able to push a small branch away from the dish, still no TV signal. I cut down some small trees so I could get a little closer to the dish. Carol called and told me that the TV was getting the signal. Carol wanted a new pot for her plant.

This is the pot that contained Carol's plants. I found out later that water was able to leak out the side.

Carol put the plant in black two-gallon nursery pot that we filled with wet pooting soil.

I picked some of these this afternoon.

These are the ones I picked this morning. I took them to the post office. One of Carol's friends came to the post office while I was there. She took them all.

Busy Day

This morning after breakfast we drove to Fillmore where an appointment with a doctor's technician. We then bought some groceries and then went to the drugstore. We were home for a short time when Ray and Maryann were at the door. Later Robert came.

Carol made zucchini bread yesterday. It is so good.

One topaz melon that has been partially eat by deer.

Here is another one.

Ray, Maryann, me, Carol, and Robert. Robert and I walked around the yard. It is beginning to rain. The rain on the leaves above the dish are heavy and hang down over the dish and block the signal. I went outside to shake the tree branches that were hanging over the dish.

Busy

This morning after the morning news and breakfast, Carol called the clinic and made an appointment for me. I have an air bulge just below my chest. Later we went to the clinic where I was examined by a technician. He said that I had a hernia. We stopped at the county courthouse and paid taxes for the car. We got a new sticker for the car. Next, we bought some groceries. Last we stopped at the drug store. Carol got a prescription and I got one.

We were surprised when my brother Ray knocked on the door. I let him and his wife come in. Moments after that, our son Robert rang the doorbell. We had a nice visit. They went up the canyon. They wanted some branches to make walking sticks. It has been raining of and on a little bit. 

Fast Sunday

 

I was up at 6:20, but my alarm didn't wake me up. I fed the cats and prepared my medications for the week. No breakfast because it was fast Sunday. We watched channel eleven, we also wrapped potatoes in foil and put them in the oven. Later we attended our church meetings. There are two meetings. After church Carol boiled two ears of sweet corn and made the best hamburger patties, I watered the topaz melons and the plants in the front yard. 

Orem Utah Temple

We got an early start to Orem. After the session we stopped at Sam's Club. We got a few groceries and then got several shots. tetanus was one of them.

 The photo above shows Carol getting a shot in her left arm. She is holding up her sleeve.

This shows the cats eating cat food.

This is Big Tom at the cat dish. He likes his back rubbed. I rubbed his back with my foot.

Later I watered the lawn west of the garage. Supper was warm-ups. I ate too much.

During the night this morning I could hear it raining. It was a little after two. It was dark when I got up so I could not see much. I turned on the TV. There wasn't any signal. A little later the wind blew some and the signal returned. I was able to watch the morning news. After breakfast I took a small box of vegetables to the post office. Carol sent me to the post office to mail a letter. The vegetables took up there are gone. This afternoon I watered the plants in the front yard.
