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.

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.

I picked a bunch of green arrow peas. Carol shelled froze them.

Sunday

After break-fast this morning Carol wrapped potatoes in foil and put them in the oven. Later we went to church. I didn't go to choir practice. I decided to quite the choir.  We came home for dinner. I watered the plants in greenhouse five. I also turned on the water for the potato plant in greenhouse two. I did it several times. The hummingbirds are busy and one is on the nest outside my bathroom window. I watered the hanging baskets. The wind is blowing them.

Saturday

After breakfast I got the weed eater and started cutting weeds south of greenhouse two. Here I could see a tap that was running water, The ground was muddy in that area, I shut the water off. I continued to cut weeds going north between greenhouses one and two. I turned on the water for the potatoes growing in greenhouse two. I did that several times I continued to cut weeds to the north until the battery died. I turned on the water on the front lawn east of the sidewalk. I watered the plants and baskets that were on the front porch. We moved some of the plants that were on the front porch into the house. I moved the cart that contained the bedding plant into the garage. 

The well is Fixed

Regular morning. After breakfast, I picked green arrow peas. Carol shelled them. After lunch we picked up Alisha. There were two trucks parked north of greenhouse two. They belonged to the well fixing people. Carol let me off and walked out to the well. I said that we were going to Fillmore. They said that it would be fixed by the time that we would be fixed.   

We filled the car with gas. It didn't take much. We bought groceries at the Fillmore market. Carol got some medication at the drug store. Alisha wanted to get some onion rings at a little portable shop in Fillmore. When we got back their trucks were still there. Later the doorbell rang, It was one of the workers who said it was fixed. We turned on a tap. there was water. I watered the baskets, the corn, the onions and Carol's dahlias.

At the Temple

After a good breakfast we drove to the Payson, Utah Temple. We had a good session. As we walked out the door Lisa showed met us. Carol gave Lisa, Melisa's money. On the way we stopped at Wendy's and got Hamburgers. fry's, drinks and chicken nuggets. We then stopped in Nephi for ice cream cones and then drove home. I called the guy who is going to fix our well. He is busy and one of our neighbors wants to be there when he comes. It may take several weeks for every can there the same time.

Up this morning. I fed the cats and made three bowels of old fashion oatmeal mush. We watched the channel seven TV shows, I hooked up the drip line for the dahlia plants.

This is a photo of one of the dahlia plants, It is in the center of this photo.

This photo shows the garden hose connected to the pressure regulator that waters the dahlia plants.

I had spaghetti and cheese for lunch.

I watered the plants in greenhouse five. I picked some peas and gave them to Carol. The fire alarm sounded. Carol and I drove around town. There was a fire truck was backed into some one's yard. There were some irrigation ditches that we saw. There was not much water running.

May Fix Well

A thought came to me during the night. I could hire one of Adam's kids to do the irrigating.

This morning Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I read another chapter from the Book of Mormon. When she got back, she asked me if anyone knocked on the door. I didn't know. She said that there was a truck parked north of greenhouse one. I hurried out there. I met three men in front of greenhouse five. We talked some about the well. The then asked our neighbor if they could take their equipment across her property to the well. She must have given permission because they haven't come back. 

I got the weed eater and cut down the weeds and grass north of the greenhouses. 

I took the weed eater and cut down weeds north of the greenhouses. I cut until the battery died.

Payson Temple

This morning started as usual. Up at 6:20, put on my suit. Carol was up. We had breakfast and then left for Payson where we had a 9:40 appointment. We don't go to that temple, so we didn't know our way around, but there were plenty of temple workers that showed us where to go. After the session we stopped at Walmart and bought some tomato and some pepper plants. We then drove home. I took the plants out greenhouse five and gave them a good watering. 

We Carol made more sugar water for the hummingbirds.

Orem

We were invited to attend the sealing of Holden and Megan and their children. Weve drove to Orem this afternoon. We were early so we went the slow way. I thought that we were going the wrong way, but Carol new where we were going. We then drove to the temple parking lot. We went into the temple and showed our recommends. We were directed to the marriage waiting room. Then we went into the sealing room. It was a wonderful spiritual experience. We then went outside and waited for Holden and his family, We got on some steps while a photographer took lots of pictures.  It was cold. I got a few pictures. 

The Orem temple. We stopped at Sam's Club for groceries. We then stopped at Wendy's for some sandwiches. The last stop was for ice cream cones in Nephi. We had a wonderful day.

Three Drops

Last night we had pancakes for supper. This morning we ate some of the leftover pancakes. I also made a fresh old fashion oatmeal mush. There were a few drops of rain. This afternoon I got out the weed-eater and cut down a lot of the weeds north of the greenhouses, I put plastic grocery bags and then put on my old shoes. It was much easier to walk around. The following photos show the weeds that I cut down, 

I drove to Fillmore. I had Dan fix my laptop. This made it easy to post these Photos.

I planted two pots with Ranunclus starts. They are in greenhouse six. There are two starts in one pot and three starts in the other pot.

This is a grape vine in greenhouse five that has some buds.

This cactus bloomed a while ago and there are three buds about ready to bloom again.

Fillmore

This morning after breakfast, we watched the morning TV shows. I tried to post the most recent photos. I wasn't able to post them.  This afternoon we drove to Fillmore. We stopped at the market and bought some groceries. This evening I drove on main street looking for a place the guy with the drick could go in and pull the old water pump and replace it with a new one, I found a good place. I stopped and explained it to her. She seemed to be okay with it,

Carol made pancakes for supper, We haven't had pancakes for a long time. They were very good.

Sheet Time

We spent most of the morning washing the sheet and remaking the beds.  Carol went to exercise class. I worked in my tablet. After I did a game, it would go an advertisement and then it would take a long time to get a new game. I went online to see if I could find something that would help. There was a lady on You Tube that talked so fast that it didn't help much. I rebooted my tablet and selected a new game, It has been working ever since. It didn't matter if I won or lost. I went outside and walked to the end of the driveway. I could see Neil Stevens truck parked by the greenhouses. After a while he said that the well was fixed. There wasn't any water running on the front lawn. I walked up to the well. The valve on the exit pipe was turned off. I turned it on and the water started running, I went to the garden and turned the water on the onions. They got a good watering. I turned the water on the corn and the water stopped. I called Neil and he came over. He tried to get the well pumping, but he wasn't successful. He concluded that the pump at the bottom of the well needed to be replaced.

Laptop Problems

 

This morning I turned on the morning news. I then fed the and made a batch of old fashion oatmeal mush. After breakfast we watched the channel seven programing. After a while Richard came to get his four-wheeler. We went out to the well. He was able to push the red button; The pump came on for few seconds and then it stopped. He did it several times. It still didn't work. He loaded the. four-wheeler the trailer. Carol made us some good egg salad for lunch. Richard said his good-byes and then left. 

As soon as he left, Niel Stevens came by. He offered to fix the gray box that directs the electricity to the well.  I am unable to download some photos to my laptop.

May Day

 

We drove to Fillmore this morning, we filled the car with gas and then went to the feed store where I bought some Peaches and Cream sweet corn seed. I planted two rows in the garden. I tried to water it, but for some reason water pump did not turn on.  There are two red buttons, under a gray metal box. They are hard to push; I couldn't push them.
