Planting Tomatoes

Carol is beginning to feel a little better. She showered and did her hair.   After breakfast we watched the MeTV shows. The fridge was empty, so I drove Fillmore and bought a bunch of frozen dinners.  Carol made cheese and baloney sandwiches for lunch.

After lunch I gathered the garden seeds and went out to greenhouse fived to prep the potting soil for planting.  The wheelbarrow had a flat tire.  I was going to get the compressor but instead I took the wheelbarrow to the garage and pumped up the tire.  The potting soil was super dry.  I broke it into smaller pieces and got it wet.  I then filled the germination tray and planted the tomato seeds.  1San Marzan, 2 Lemon Boy, 3 Celebrity, 30 seeds 4. Brandywine Pink, 10 seeds, 5. Cherokee Purple.  10 seeds.

I put a tray on top of the seeds to keep off the cats.

I put the tray on the heating mat.

I turned off the water but later came back and turned it This is a photo of a little water running so it won't freeze and break the pipes.

Good Sunday Meetings

 Showering and breakfast went as usual.  Carol is still sick.  I 

The Long Wait

Saturday morning was pretty uneventful.  We watched some interesting TV shows.  Carol turned them on and I didn't watch any of the Saturday morning wood working shows.  This afternoon I drove to Fillmore for gas and groceries.  I stopped at the Maverik station.  There were cars at every pump.  I lined up behind a pickup that had several mattresses in in the back.  I backed up and got behind car that looked like it would soon leave.   I stopped behind it.  They went into the store.  After a while they got in the car and drove away.  The long wait was over.  I went into the store and got me a Maverik card.  With the card I get a discount.  I got in the car and bought some groceries.  I then drove home.

Rain Like Hail

I didn't post anything on Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Carol is sick, so on Wednesday morning we went to the clinic to see a doctor.  She then went to the hospital for an Xray of her lungs. She had a little covid and pneumonia.  I picked up her prescription and I went back again to get another prescription and bought some groceries at the market   Today is Friday the 14th of February.  I can't write much.  Today is valentine day.  I gave Carol, my sweetheart a box of chocolates.

Every morning we go the post office.   I went twice. The first time I picked up the mail.  The second time was this afternoon to post a birthday card. 

Thers was a dusting of snow this morning on our driveway.  Carol is feeling just a little better.

Cold Night & Day

I got up in time to watch the news.  I started the old fashion oatmeal and fed the cats.  I watered the house plants which something that we do every Monday morning, after breakfast we watched the morning MeTV shows.  We haven't done that for quite some time.

I walked out to house five to water some of the plant.  I left one hose on and it ran all night.  There was a big puddle of water, and I couldn't get close the thermometer.  The sun was shining and the temperature 100 degrees.

I hadn't feed the chickens for several days.  We got a large bag of lay pellet a couple days ago,  I opened the bag and pot some pellets in the feeder and then put it in the hen house.  One of the gray cats was watching me do my chores. Most of the snow on the back lawn has melted.  Carol has a bad cold.  She didn't go to her DUP meeting this afternoon.

Sabath Today

Carol drove me to choir practice this morning.  There was not a very good turnout.  There was two men and about six women plus a man conducting the choir.  The speakers were very good.  Two young men that talked without notes.  One was in primary, and the other one was a deacon.  The priesthood lesson pretty good.  I couldn't keep up with my small tablet.  We came home to a good dinner which consisted of a baked potato, string beans, and chocolate pudding.  My SAMSUNG tablet is to working right.  I can't get any screen color.  I think I worked on that for over an hour.   

What? Snow

When I went to bed last night I thought that I would sleep in, but I changed my mind.  I got up at the regular time.  There wasn't a TV signal.  I put on my coat, hat and shoes and then went outside and cleaned the snow of the TV dish. There was a bunch of snow this morning when we got up.  I uncovered the dish and after breakfast I went outside and took the following pictures.

Looking north I got a picture of the snow and some snow on the power lines

This picture is of the fence on the south side of our yard.  There is a donkey on the other side of the fence.

This picture is south of the house.

This is how the driveway looked.

Another front yard looking east.  The Dodge truck is on the left.   By evening some of the snow has melted.  I called Russel Monrow at noon.  He wanted to by greenhouse one.  The price was $3,000.
