Froze Again

There was nothing about this morning that was unusual except feeding the cats.  When the casts finished eating and left, I brought the cat dishes back in the house so the dogs wouldn't eat what was left over.  before lunch, I went out to greenhouse five. I watered some of the plants. There was ice in the hose. There was also ice one the ground by the tap. I called Andrew Brown for help.

There were two mem who came and fixed the furnace.
This the temperature around noon.  Late in the afternoon we drove to Fillmore for a few groceries.

Church

I got up this morning and fed the cats.  I then made a batch of old fashion oatmeal mush.  Richard was gone for a while.  Carol had raisin bran for breakfast.  Richard returned and ate his breakfast. He left and went to his daughter, Emily, for sacrament meeting.  Carol took me to choir practice. After two good meetings we came home for dinner.

Snow

During the night when I looked out the window it looked like snow.  It was too dark to be able to tell for sure.  I got up and showered I could see that there was some snow on the ground.  Richard was gone.  After breakfast I shoveled the snow off the driveway. I took the three pictures below.  

This is looking north across the street.  The neighbor's house is across the street north of us. 
his is the back yard looking at the back yard looking south.   The south end of the garage is on the right and the corner of the house is on the left.
This the front sidewalk.  Later this morning I shoveled the snow off driveway and sidewalk.  I walked out to greenhouse five.  Everything there was good.  I walked across the road tw report that throw dogs have been eating cat food, He said that their dogs get out of their kennel where it is broken.  He then to their dogs and family. They are building a house there. Richard left for a while.  He shot a coyote.  We had omelets for supper.

Warm Night & Day

I went out to greenhouse five and watered some of the plants.  It is so warm this afternoon that the furnace hasn't come on.  Carol got the vacuum out and vacuumed several rooms in the house.  I have been out to greenhouse five.  I watered some of the plants, Carol had a little project for me.  I got out the shop vacuum and cleaned the floors of our car.  We are having trouble with dogs eating the cat food on the front porch,

Tap Fixed

This morning, we went to the Timpanogos temple.  We picked up Carol's sister Nyleen.  After the session we took Nyleen home.  After a short visit we headed back home.  I put on my work clothes and when out to greenhouse five.  I wanted to fix a leaking tap.  I got a hold Rod who is the town employee.  He shut off the water.  I then fixed the leaking tap.  Meanwhile Carol had her hair done.  She really looks cute.  

This is the tap after it is fixed.  I didn't have to buy anything.  I found some parts.
This is how the tap looked before I fixed it.  I got some tools and removed the tap.
The thermostat

Birthday

It is Carol's birthday today.  I left a note in the bathroom which she would see as soon ad she got up.  I fed the cats and fixed breakfast.  We watched the morning news and TV shows.  

Soon after breakfast I walked out to greenhouse five, I started the furnace last night and it was still running this morning.  

 We went to Fillmore for ice cream cones.  This is how we celebrated Carol's birthday.

More freezing

I watched the morning news this morning and then fed the cats.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  Later I picked up the mail. It was a little before lunch when I went out to greenhouse five and began to water some of the plants.  When I turned the water on it was just a trickle, in a few minutes there was a full stream.  The water in the hose was frozen.  I had a floppy joy for lunch.  I just finished lunch when the doorbell rang.  It was C.R. Charlesworth.  He is a friend of ours who sells produce.  Carol bought some.  I called Adam Remkes to see if he could fix the thermostat that is in greenhouse five, He will come tomorrow around noon.  It is 7:41 now. I walked out in the dark to greenhouse five.  I changed the temperature to thirty-eight and the furnace came on. It was blowing hot air when I left.  I am going to check it out in the morning.
