     Darel had a good day yesterday.  Late in the day we went to a class at church and did errands so he got out before this storm snows us in.

      Fill, the bird feeders and wood boxes, take out ashes, make sure everything is closed up tight before the storm.  Take the truck out of the garage so I can drive the tractor out to put wood on the fires when the snow depth makes walking hard.  Be prepared to get up more often with the fires with the cold temperatures that are forecast for after the storm.  Andrew will be shoveling snow away from the greenhouse when he should be putting up twine to tie up tomatoes in the hoop house.  Winter doesn't want to let go.  On the plus side Darel is doing so well his nurse won't feel she has to fight the roads to check on him.  And snow is forecast to change to rain towards the end of the month.

      We are going to try to get the begonias out of the cellar and into the greenhouse before the storm.  Usually that is done a week ago.  There is a table in the get together room for other plants coming out of the basement.

      Have a good day, Sally
