      Darel had a good day yesterday.  Very quiet.  He is thinking he'd like to go to Rachael's game today.  Saturdays rarely are quiet here.  I'll decide if i'm going when it is time.  I'm not ready for Christmas yet and we often have a house full.  And I may see some last minute shoppers.

      The tree is decorated.  The jam is made.  Now I need to make rolls to go with the jam.  iIstill have decorations I haven't put out.

       The air was so damp yesterday I gave the hens another layer of bedding.  I didn't feed the birds.  There is feed in the hanging feeders.  With the snow melt any seeds they missed from where I threw seeds on the snow is exposed.  Most of the birds like to ground feed.  Especially when i put seed under the rose bush.  I think they feel protected.

       Have a good day, Sally
