      Darel had a comfortable day yesterday.  He was glad he could sit by the pellet stove but by the end of the day he was wishing he could help with the clean up.

      Gilbert did clean up with my tractor so i could work on the boxes i got Wednesday night today.  The forecast was for a few heavy squalls to come through.  They were heavy, there is 3 more inches on the path to the greenhouse and Quonset hut.  On top of the 16 inches we already had.  But our power never flicker so it wasn't a bad storm.  The snow is a March snow so it will start settling and melting today.  The red wing blackbird spent the day huddled in the corner of the feeder protected by a Christmas tree eating sunflower seeds.  And he is back there this morning.

    A busy day today and tomorrow.  No more boxes until one the week of the 18th.  Time to work on displays.

    Have a good day, Sally
