      We had a pleasant quiet day yesterday.  Darel was tired but not overly so.  Our sons stopped in as they were cleaning up.  Hopefully we'll see more family today to clean up the left overs.

      I got lots of picking up from Christmas done.  Perhaps today the extra chairs will get put away and the plant table bought back in.  There were quite a few birds in the morning, eventually the snow got too much for them.  We got about a foot.  I shoveled out the horse barn door so I could give warm water to the hens.  Today i'lll get some of the snow out of the feeders.  I'll unplug the light to the Nativity scenes, they are buried beyond shoveling out,  I will clean off the stable roof for the second time,  It is made for decoration, not strength.

      First thing this morning I will call in the seed order I finished yesterday..  Heather and I worked on the Fedco order via computer.  It is due on the seventh.  Today i'll work on the mailing list for Country Junction's winter letter.

      Have a good day, Sally
