Missed a Couple of Days

I was watching late evening TV shows that I didn't write anything.  I got a few pictures. 

I cleaned a path from our back porch to the front of house five.  The photo is in front of house three.

Our driveway after a good neighbor pushed off all of the snow.

This pathway through the snow is south of our patio;  

The temperature in house five.  It didn't get very warm all day long.

I worked all afternoon putting this light fixture together.  When I finished, it didn't work.  There was a little light on the left end.  The tube must be too old.

We worked all morning.  We removed all of the ornaments that were hanging on the Christmas tree.  Two different sizes of balls, angels, snowflakes, crystal, etc. 

The above photo is the box which contains the tree.  It was hard to close the box after I got the tree inside the box.  I took the tree out.  the tree is in four sections.  I wrapped the three large sections with some twine and chinch it tight.  I then tape the box shut.  I carried the heavy box into the kitchen.  I then drug it out the door into the garage.  I put in place until next year.  I couldn't get the tree stand in the box, so I put it on top of the box.

After finishing we drove to Fillmore.  We stopped at Service Drug where Carol refilled her prescription and bought some birthday cards.  We then stopped at the Fillmore Market for a few groceries.  Then it was home for lunch.

Again, the geraniums are doing well.  There three or four six packs that have geranium seedling in each cell.

I broke my shoehorn a couple of days ago.  I made a new one which is hanging by the light switch by the garage door.

Up With the Tree

This morning I took Carol to her physical therapy session.  While she was in therapy, I filled the car with gas,  Had tire air pressure adjusted.  Bought some groceries and then went the Revere building where she was in therapy.  I was invited to watch her.  She was there for nearly two hours.  We went to the post office where I got a seed package.  It was for geraniums.  They were all the same.  I thought I ordered a mix.  I hope to sent them back Monday.  After lunch I put up our Christmas tree.  I didn't finish until about 5:30.  I thought that I finished earlier.  Carol sit on the sofa and found opened more boxes and I put on more ornament.  I put about sixty-four differed crocheted icicles that her mother made.  

Here is the finished tree even it is a little fuzzy

Sunday & Monday

31 November 2019 Saturday

We went to the Manti Utah Temple a little after  eleven this morning.  The roads were a little wet.  We were able to leave a little early this evening and got home about 8:20.

1 December 2019 Sunday

We attended all of our church meetings

After our Sunday dinner we put up the new Christmas tree.  It came in three pieces.  When the lights were plugged in they came on.

 Interesting though, when the tree pieces fit together above two pieces were also plugged in.

2 Monday 2019

We decorated the tree.

By lunch time We had finished the tree.  We put up the rest of the decorations.  I drove to Fillmore to make a deposit and by a few things at Roper's.

We put all of the indoor Christmas decorations out. 

The children's nativity.

 The drummer.  Lorena Rodrigues gave this one to us many years ago.

All of the balls, a merry-go-round, and a faris wheel.

Most of the Nutcrackers.  Some we have had for years.

Some native sets.

A few more nutcrackers.

More nutcrackers.

The last time was putting up some lights over the front porch.   I made a path through the snow going back and forth for the lights.

Here I finished with the porch lights.  I made a lot of "S" hooks to hold the rope light to a half inch conduit pipe.  It looks pretty good.

Richfield and Christmas Tree

We drove to Richfield for the purpose of getting a new artificial Christmas tree.  We couldn't find one in Payson on Monday.  We went to the Walmart store in Richfield.  They did not have the tree that we wanted and the ones that they had we didn't want.  We bought items for Christmas presents.  I picked out a watch for my present from Carol.  It was about $30.00.  I had my old watch and asked the clerk if she would set it to the correct time.  It was two hours fast.  She did it in about thirty seconds.  I returned the new watch to its place on the counter.  We also bought a few groceries and came home.  We were back home by one.  

It was raining when we got up and it rained most of the day.  There was a little sunshine in the late afternoon.  

As soon as we got home we had a lunch. I went into the garage and brought the old Christmas tree into the house.  I undid the box and began to put it together.  Carol helped me.  We removed the white socket plugs and screwed in the bulbs.  

 I crochet didn't get any pictures of the progress.  We put on the silver balls, some glass ornaments, some crochet angels, and crochet snow flakes.  There were a few other thing that we also put on the tree.

There are three pictures of the finished tree.

I am really surprised at how good it looks after the age of it.  We have had it for many years.

I have been watching the building that is coming up down the street.  Last night they nearly finished to roof.  This morning before it began to rain they finished with the roof.  No shingles yet.  By tonight the has some installed some windows and put on an east door.

There is a lot of rain falling this evening.

Inside and Outside Finished

We spent all morning decorating the Christmas tree. We planned on buy a new tree when we were in Provo yesterday.  Most of them were over $400.  The tree that we have used for years is in the garage.  Last year it had a few problems.  I brought it into the house and put it together.  There are four sections.  I put the light bulbs in.  They all worked except two.  I had some color light that worked.  Will find some white ones next week.  After the tree was up, Carol and I put all of the decorations on it.  We were finished by twelve.  The picture is below.

Below are snow flakes crocheted by Carol's mother.  There are forty or fifty of them on our tree and most of them are a little different.

I made some vegetable soup while Carol drove to Fillmore for a few things.  It turned out to be really good.  I used quart of chicken stock left over from Chicken that we had a couple of weeks ago.  I added to carrots, leeks, turnip, potatoes, peas, and corn from the garden.  Celery was from the grocery store.  I could have added bell peppers, but didn't think about that until just now.

Yesterday we bought a string of 300 red lights that were to used on the two Christmas wreaths.  There is one string and I had to use it on both wreaths.  I tried to wrap it around the one on the right.  I had Carol help me by holding the ladder.  That didn't work.  I took one wreath down and put the light in and came over the outside and back through the center.  Half of the lights were on the back.  I undone that and using the florist wire I was able to fasten the lights on the front of the wreaths.

I then put lights on the Dawn redwood tree and the Flowering Lilac tree.  the front yard looks pretty good.
