Update

 Riverton, Utah          High 56 Low 33

Sorry, no pictures today.

We still have been busy, you know, no rest for the wicked.

It has been cold and windy a lot of the time.

Yesterday we heard on the radio that a local Nursery was at Home Depot. If you bought flowers for planting at Home Depot, they would fill pots with potting soil and plant the flowers for you. You could bring as many pots as you wanted, the only limit was time. So we took over about a dozen pots that Cindy was going to plant anyway, just not so soon. They probably gave us at least 2 bags of potting soil and saved Cindy a lot of work later. The only drawback is that we have to put all the pots inside the garage every night for the next while. Free potting soil made it worth while. 

We have been busy with home repairs and, of course, quilting. Our old double oven hadn't been working too well. After 20 years it didn't bake at constant temperatures and parts are no longer available for it, so we got a new GE with French doors on the top oven. Now Cindy doesn't have to lift things over a door to put it in the oven, and the temperature is constant. 

It still has been too cold to get Penny a hair cut and she sure is getting shaggy. We did get out for a walk one afternoon and she acted happy to be out checking all the smells. I'm ready for it to warm up and I'm sure Penny is also.

It looks like the apricots all got frozen. There are lots of pear and cherry blossoms. Before last year, we had never got cherries because the birds seemed to get them before they were even ripe, but last year we had a lot of cherries, but I didn't spray them because I expected the birds to get them. All the new houses by us must have made the birds go somewhere else, so I plan on spraying this year.

Cindy wants to put in a bigger garden than usual, so that means more tilling for me.

I have got a few more quilts quilted. I guess better to stay busy, than watch tv all the time.

Right now, with the high price of fuel, we don't know if we are going to take the camper out this summer.

Thanks for visiting.

  1. French door oven!!!!!!! Oh you lucky girl Cindy. It's probably why I cook at the Elks Lodge ... they have GREAT ovens. Neither of mine keep the temperature where it's supposed to be and repair guys don't want to come out this far.
