Pole Beans

This morning, Carol put the beans that I picked yesterday into five-pint bottles.

I is quite a process that takes about two hours to process.   This afternoon 

I was out in the north garden digging weeds.  Scamp and her mother were inside this cage.  Both ends were open.  I dug a lot of weeds.  It rained a little, about three drops.  I started watering the plants in house five by turning the timer on for thirty minutes.  

Carol made a batch of spaghetti for super. She used some spaghetti sauce that she made a couple of years ago.    We watched TV until we went to bed.

The Garden

 I wasn't up very early this morning.  Carol was up and started to wash the clothes.  I fed the cats.  

We had some old dried-up cookies that I gave to the chickens in greenhouse six.  They came to their water container.

I got out the weed eater and broke up all of the mustard weeds that was on the east side of greenhouses four, five, and six.  I then cutting weeds south of the shed.  I cut a lot of them down.  

I blocked off all of the openings to the cathouse. 

I caught two cats together at the top of the back steps. Tiger is the cat on the right.  We don't see the cat on the left very often. He doesn't have a name.

Church

 

I had a good rest last night.  I got up and started making my morning old fashion oatmeal mush. I fed the cats and started breakfast.  I vacuumed a little in the family room.   I checked the plants in house five.  I plugged in the radio for the morning church music.  I walked out to greenhouse five and started the watering by pressing the manual button on the timer, I pushed the add button, until the timer was at twenty minutes.  The water started to run to the plants. Carol took me to church for choir practice.  The  primay put on the program.    Dinner was in the oven. When we got home it was done.  Carol then cooked some porkchops. 

I picked zucchini and crookneck squash.

I picked this large tomato.

This after noon I as giving the chickens in greenhouse six some water. I discovered a hose running full blast one one of the tree section.  I plug on the end of the hose was running.  I plugged the end in half and stuck it into piece of PVC pipe.  

Supper was sweet potato.  I melted some butter and poured it on the potato. So good.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Work on the Lawn

I usually watch my channel seven TV shows each Saturday morning, but they were all reruns.  Instead, I walked out to the shed and got the lawn mower.   

I parked it in front of the large garage door and filled the front tires with air.  I also filled the gas tank.  It was about 11:30 when if finished.  

I dumped the clippings on weeds south of the north garden.  

Every time we drive past a large patch of sunflowers. I tell Carol that I want a picture of her with sunflowers in the background.  These sunflowers are north of the house.  I got this picture of her and of Tiger, our cat.  I created this little verse.   "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.  You make me happy when I think of you.  Please don't take you sunshine away."

The carrots are not getting enough water. I run the sprinkler on them for about forty-five minutes.  I also run the sprinkler on another raised bed where I am expecting plants strawberry plants sometime this month.

I got this picture of the town garage.  One of the men in town is painting it on the north wall.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

A Couple of Days

This morning we drove to the Timpanos Temple in American Fork.  When session was over, we drove to the Walmart in Payson to get my new cell phone fixed.  I was there for about forty-five minutes.  The person fixed it for me.  We then came home. 

The zucchini is coming on.  I took these two to the share the harvest at the post office.  I also took a lot of cucumbers.  When I checked this evening, there were two cucumbers left over.

The crook neck summer squash is starting to come on.  

Here is my bucket of cucumbers.

Graveside service for Jim Masner were scheduled at eleven.  It was closer to eleven thirty when they got started.  The above photo is of soldiers that served. 

We set under a shade cover.  My Carol is giving Carol Masner a hug.  Her husband who was a good friend of ours passed away about a week ago.  She called us while we were in Walmart.  

The above photo is the pal Bears bringing the casket.  

The above photo shows the casket draped with the American flag.

A closer look.

When we were home from the funeral, I had Scamp, our kitten on my lap. I took this selfie when she climbed on my shoulder.  

Tiger, our cat leaves when the yellow car is around.  I took some cat food and put it behind a tree trunk.  She ate some until the yellow cat came around.

I put the food on the front porch. Tiger ate until she was full.

The cat box kept coming off when the Scamp and her mother tried to climb on.  I rebuilt it and put in screws to hold it in place.

Some good salsa tomatoes growing in the south garden.

I picked a cucumber and two salsa tomatoes.  The early photos were take yesterday and the bottom three were take this evening.   We watched TV until we went to bed.

Richard Left

 

I was up fairly early.  I showered, shaved, said my prayers.  I made another batch of oatmeal mush, fed the cats.  Richard was anxious to get on the road before there wasn't much traffic.   After he left Carol, and I had breakfast.  Carol washed all of the bedding, Late this morning we had made all of the bed. I watched the morning TV shows. It rained during the night.  A clay dish on the patio had nearly a half inch of water in it.  The garden, flowers, and the lawns were well watered.  For lunch it was warm-ups.

Quick Trip to Payson

I picked beans this morning, Carol bottled them while Richard dove us to the Payson Walmart.  To get my new camera/phone to work.   We were there for about a half hour.  They fixed it. We got home in time for lunch.   House five was good. All of the plants were watered.  House six was also good.  The chickens had water and lay pellets.

I took a couple of pictures with my new phone; The picture quality is a lot better than the phone.  There is one problem.  I can't transferer them to my laptop computer.  Richard went to delta to a shooting range to practice shooting his rifle.  We watched a little baseball and football. We watched TV until we went bed.
