This year may your troubles be less and your Blessings be more.  May nothing but happiness come through your door.

       A quiet day yesterday, for now Darel is agreeing we should stay home when it is this cold.  Ray Bickmore came over and watched the game with Darel.  Darel watched football all day but "the game" means the Patriots.

     There is ice built up on the greenhouse.  It can't stay there and get Thursday's snow added to it.  The attack plan is for me to start the fires about 4:30 Wednesday morning.  And plug in the tractor.  A lot of the snow and ice on the west side can be bucketed.  There will be a lot of shoveling on the east.  The plan is that with heat inside and snow away from the bottom the ice will slide off with just a little nudging from the roof rake.  Little Andrew is coming down when he gets home from work  and clear the little greenhouse.  He starts at 4am so he get home why there is daylight.

       Brad Paisley says today is the first page of a 365 book, write a good one.   I plan to and hope your is good too.  Keep warm, Sally
