Carol & the Doctor

We found a lot of large ants on the counter to the right of the sink.  Also, there were some in the sink, and I even felt one crawling on my neck.  Of course I killed it.  Carol cleaned the counter.

After breakfast I removed everything out of the appliance garage.  I scrubbed it down with a water/Clorox mix. The Clorox destroys the scent trail and any other path back to the kitchen.  Carol had an appointment with Dr. Gross.  We were there at nine and we didn't leave until eleven.  Most of the time were waiting for the doctor.   We came home and had lunch.  After lunch I worked out in the garden.

It has been hard to water some of the rhubarb.  I dug a ditch or trench around the plants.  I can turn on the water and run it down the row.

I nailed down the weed barrier with large nails to keep the wind from blowing it.    I then got to extensions cords and the blower.  I blew most of the dirt off the weed barrier.

I found some daffodils on snail hill.  I cut some for a bouquet for the kitchen.

I got several shovels and dug up the weeds on the north side of the north garden.  

I prepared a place for a trellis for cucumbers.  They will be planted every sixteen feet.  That gives them room to grow eight feet in each direction.

There is a rose bush that has been in the way for years.  I have cut it down several times.  Today I dug it up.  I had to get a heavy shovel to cut through the roots.

I took it into the garage and sharpened it with a file.  

Here it is dug out

At nine this evening Carol found three more on the right side of the sink.

Conference

The trip to the Fillmore Hospital is becoming unpleasant.  We left at 7:15 am and made it back home around nine.   I made breakfast of pancake and eggs.

 This is Carol's are how it looked this morning after the IV infusion.  It was bleeding some, so the nurse removed it and put on a pressure bandage.  

I walked around the yard some and got a picture of the rhubarb that is beginning to make leaves.

 The above picture is of the fern leaf peony.  It is growing through some of the leaves from the sycamore tree.

Can't tell from this picture, but the dust and manure from the field south of our yard is deposited on our side of the fence.  It is caught by the tall weeds.

I drove over to the Masner's between conference sessions.  I noticed the apricot trees blooming.  This is a picture of one of our trees.

We made the evening trip to the hospital.  The transfusion was much faster this evening.  We didn't have to wait to start and to end.

Conference has been excellent over the last two days.  The organization of the Melchizedek priesthood quorums have been reorganized.  "...In each ward, the high priests group and the elders quorum will now be combined into one elders quorum,”   I have thought for a long time. that it should be done this way.
