Transplanted Corn and Lettuce

One of the car headlight burned out last night on the way to the temple.  I compared prices at Amazon and at Murdock Hyundai.  I first thought that I would order the lights and replace them myself.  Carol thought that I should go to Dearden's in Fillmore.  I followed her advice.  They fixed in for about $40.

Our chickens are having a difficult time.  The timer clock hasn't been working properly.  One time the light was on during the day.  Another time is was one when I got up at four in the morning.  I thought that I might need a new clock.  I looked on line and found some good timers at Amazon at a good price.  If the lights to come on at the right time in the morning, I will order a pair of times with free shipping.

I worked on the small table part of the morning.  It turned out to be a unique design.  I can easily make a part lists and put it together much faster.

I finished the table for the paper shredder in a rough sort of way.  I made the top for it out of a couple of piece of old plywood.  I wanted to see if it were the right height and the right table size.  I shredded a lot of papers.  Tomorrow I want to do some finish work on it. Sanding and staining.

I planted more sweet corn.  Two seeds per cell.  I bumped one six packs and tipped it and that knocked most of the seeds out, but not all the soil.  I put them back in, and some of the cells may have more than two and there may be some that have only one or nonel

The lettuce, the three six packs of corn seed and some geraniums.  Some are getting their first true leaves.

This morning I paid some bills.  One morning chore is to feed the cats.  I took the cat food to house five where Tiger lives.  She is usually waiting.  I called for her and could hear her whining but couldn't see her.  I looked up and she was sitting on the header above the west door. She couldn't get down.  I stood on a cement block and was able to reach her and take her down.  She didn't want to let loose of the two by fours she was sitting on. 

I was working in the house while Carol went visiting teaching.   When she got back we had some lunch and then to Fillmore for a few more gifts and cash at the bank.

A couple of days ago be bought a bunch of gifts that we will be giving our children and grand children.   Most however, are getting money and a small gift.  This afternoon Carol wrapped the gifts and prepared Christmas card for family members.  She took one of them to the post office.

Later this afternoon I began working on the outdoor lights.  I got a string of icicle lights east of the driveway and another set east of the front sidewalk.
