The Missing Piece

Carol was looking at her puzzles in our closet.   I couple of puzzles fell on the floor and off came the lids.  Pieces from both puzzles ended up on the floor and some even fell in partially open drawers. She gathered them up and put one of the puzzles together.  There were seven missing pieces.  After several trips back to the closets all the pieces were found except one.

The photo above which is pretty fuzzy shows most everything that was in the closet that is now on the bedroom floor.

I have a lot of baseball caps.  All but three on put in the DI bag.

I made a quick trip to Fillmore and Roper's hardware store.  I needed a few PVC parts to fix the leaking water pipe that delivers water to the chickens.

Yesterday, started digging out the leaking water pipe.  I cut out a section of pipe and removed more soil. I let it drain while I had lunch.

I found a replacement section and glued in three couples, and the waited for the cement to set.

It took me a couple of hours to remove the last of the tomato plants.  On the right are some cucumber vines that I will take them out tomorrow.

I turned on the water.  No leaks and the prospect of the winter without leaking water and ice.

We didn't find the missing piece.

Robert, Frank, & General Conference

We made our morning trip to the hospital where Carol received another treatment. We were in and out quite quickly.  We did some shopping and came home.

I put a cover, and nursery pot, over the waterer.  It is hanging from the poultry wire.

The acorns are germinating.  The white radical is showing.

A tray of 98 cone-tainers.  The roots will be going down and soon a stem will come up.

The photo at the beginning of this blog was not held high enough.  I screwed a eye screw into the ceiling and the nursery can is tied to it.

Robert and Frank came.  Robert pulled up most of the old plants and stacked them in several different places.  There were a few veggies that they salvaged.  Those that were to thick were full of aphids.

The above and following photos show what were removed and what new things were planted.

Robert set up the automatic watering in house six.  It will come on every other day. I will check it in the morning to determine which day it came on.  Close-up above.

There are six drip lines.  Three on each row.
