The secret to living well. Eat half as much, walk twice as much, smile triple and love without measure.

Calm, cloudy, 33 degrees.  light rain/ice possible this morning.  A NW wind today will drop the temperature;  Tonight's low will be 9.  Sunny tomorrow with a west breeze, a high of 26 and a low of 17.  Snow flurries Sunday morning with a Nw breeze, a high of 39 and a low of 15.  Partly cloudy Monday with a stiff south breeze, a high of 43 and a low of 36.  Light rain Tuesday morning with a WSW breeze, a high of 47 and a low of 38.  Morning clouds/afternoon sun Wednesday with a west breeze, a high of 50 and a low of 31.  Morning clouds/afternoon sun Thursday, a NW breeze, with a high of 36 and a low of 20.  Sunny next Friday with a west breeze, a high of 38 and a low of 36.  Partly cloudy next Saturday with a NW breeze, a high of 38 and a low of 26.  Partly cloudy next Sunday with a NW breeze, a high of 33 and a low of 22.  Partly cloudy the last of February and the first few days in March with NW breezes, highs in the upper thirties and lows in the lower twenties.  I couldn't ask for a better forecast for starting the greenhouse fires next Thursday!

      Darel had a busy day yesterday.  Both the chaplain and the nurse visited in the morning.  In the afternoon we went to Bangor to get the truck aligned.  We had it aligned at Quirk and couldn't have asked for more thoughtful service.  The serviceman suggested Darel not get out of the truck until we get inside and walked to the waiting room with us.    When it was time to leave the truck was parked in the bay closest to the waiting room, he helped Darel to his feet and walked to the truck with him.

      I did get a path open to the Quonset hut yesterday.  Not only was there a lot of snow but a thick crust of ice in the middle that would have made shoveling hard work.  I emptied the ashes in the driveway to the greenhouse.  With the forecast I may be walking in water but the ice will melt.

      I ordered a case of trays from our feed store.  they will come in on today's truck.  The weather is supposed to be good this afternoon.  We'll go pick them up and get chicken feed at the same time.  I'll work in the greenhouse this morning why it is warm.  Have a good day, sally
