My bedroom clock was wrong. The power went off yesterday for an hour or so.

Larry and Leslie stopped by the other day and visited us. It was Saturday when Lisa and Emy came. We got this selfie. Lisa brought a lot of food. Emy and Lisa prepared it. It has been a long time since we have seen Emy. 

I took this picture as test. 

Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I called Dan for some help with my laptop computer. There is a baby kitten caught somewhere. We can hear it whining. We have looked everywhere, but we can't find. It sounds like it is in the house. By the way the power went off for an hour or so. 

Sunday

 

Watched the morning news concerning the Iron fire west of Eureka.

Company

 

This morning after breakfast I watered most of the plants in greenhouse five. I started the water on the potatoes. I watered the lawn east of the house. I watered two rows in the garden. We took the old water hoses to the dump. This afternoon, Carol vacuumed the floors and watered the baskets. The hummingbirds are gone. I started the water on the east lawn. I moved it about every half hour until the east was watered. I mowed the front lawn and did the trimming. Lisa and Emy came. They brought a lot of food and then prepared it for lunch. Richard came. Tonight watered the front lawn.

The Garden

After Breakfast I watered the garden. I also pulled some weeds in the garden. Later this morning we went to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. We stopped at the drug store and then went Roper's and I bought another sprinkler. We bought some groceries and then came home. For lunch Carol made bacon and egg sandwiches which were really good. I tried the new sprinkler and then found an old one.

Here I am running water down the rows. Peaches and cream are planted in these rows. It is growing pretty good. I put fertilizer on it a couple of days ago.

While I was watering a robin has a bath in the water.

Here you can see the robin. I was not able the edited versions.

The Temple

After breakfast this morning we left Holden and drove to the Payson temple. The person at the recommend desk recognized me. I didn't recognize him. He told me that he used to work Duff Shelly's store. That is where bought our Walker lawn mowers. We stopped at Walmart. We bought apple juice, grapes, and ground beef. We then stopped a Wendys for hamburgers and drinks. When we got to Nephi we bought ice cream cones. There wasn't any mail. I watered two rows in the garden, Carol made roast beef sandwiches. I turned the water on the potato plants. Last I fixed hose and put on a sprinkler. 

More Weeding

 

After breakfast this morning I went out to greenhouse five. I watered all the plants inside and some plants that were outside. The seedless are doing really well. I went back to the house. Carol wasn't there. The car was still in the garage. I found her in the garden weeding. I planted more Topaz melons. I then started weeding the onions.

The row on the right is where I weeded the onions. I was on my hands and knees while doing this. It was really muddy because I watered it last night. This picture of the garden didn't come out well because I was facing the morning sun.

These are the seedless grapes in greenhouse five. I watered them this morning. A measuring cup has been missing. I looked all over the house, the garage, the greenhouses and could find it. I found in the corner cabinet in the kitchen.

Tuesday

 

I did a lot of weed-eating on Monday.

The white is the nitrogen fertilizer.

Yesterday we went to Fillmore for some groceries. we all so bought some fertilizer. This morning, I put fertilizer on the plants in the north garden, it is the white looking material.

I fertilized the north garden. The photo above is one row of peaches and cream sweet corn. 

 

Saturday

 

Richard was still in bed when I got up this morning, A little later he got up and left for a short time. Soon he was back and had breakfast with us. He then left and hasn't come back. I went out to greenhouse two. The water isn't one the potatoes. the tap was off. I called Robert. He said to remove the timer and hook the potato hose directly. I did that. We then went to Fillmore. We bought some groceries. When we got home, I got the weed eater and cut down the weeds and grass on the east side of greenhouse two and also the weeds on both sides of the potatoes. We ate lunch. A couple hours after lunch, we drove to the Stake house. We met with a member of stake presidency to our recommend signed. He asked us questions about our worthiness. He then signed our recommends.

Help From Dan

I tried some this morning to edit photos. I wasn't able to do it. Yesterday and the day before I tried, While Carol was gone, I called Dan. He really helped me.

I planted topaz melon seeds several weeks ago and five plants have germinated.

The above photos shows some.

Traffic was bad going to Richfield and coming home. We were stopped behind a big truck waiting.

We were way early to our appointment. We waited in the shade on the north side of the park.

The grape plants in greenhouse six are ready to bloom with any water except what falls from the sky. the vines are growing along the ground.

These are seedless grapes growing greenhouse five.

The plug one this drip line came off. I kint it and stuck in a PVC pipe.

Larry and Leslie stopped for a visit. It was good to see them.

I got out the weed eater and cut weeds west of the driveway. The peonies are the only plants left standing.

I put another drip by the dry looking dhalia.

I water the peaches and cream plants every day.

I water them with the hose.

The elderberry east of greenhouse six is blooming.

More grape vines.

I picked the last bunch of green arrow peas.

Fast Sunday

 

No breakfast this morning. I put a roast in the slow cooker. Carol put potatoes in the oven, We watched some of the morning TV shows. I got confused on the time to go to church. I was ready an hour early. During Sunday school we met with a member of the bishopric and were interviewed for a temple recommend. After church we had dinner. I went out to the garden watered most everything in the garden. We dove to Fillmore to meet with a member of the stake presidency. We waited the hallway. When it was time, no one came. We looked at the ward bulletin. It said they don't do recommends on fast Sunday. We then went home. On the way home we could see a lot of smoke to the north-east of Holden.

Grapes

We had a fine breakfast. We watched the morning news and the channel seven woodworking shows, The water was running all night on the dahlia plants. I fixed the leaking water tube. I kinked the hose and pushed it in PVC coupler. That fixed the problem. I turned the water back on. I then turned the water back on. I watered most of the plants in greenhouse five. The grapes are getting bigger. Some of the grape vines in greenhouse six were growing.

These are the grapes in greenhouse six. They are pretty small. These vines are growing on the ground.

The grapes in greenhouse five are much larger. The are hanging on a wire trailless.

This where I kinked the hose and stuck it through a coupler.

Tiger, our cat posed for this photo.

It took me several hours to edit and post these photos.

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.
