     We had a lovely spring day on February 10th.  It was warm and the sun was shining when I got home from a great grandson's birthday party.  I curled up in my recliner for a nap. When I woke up, rain and clouds had moved in with thunder and lightning.  The thunderstorm was mostly west of here butI I was not interested in trying to set the live trap in a way to outsmart the skunk in the storm.  A job for this afternoon. The snow and ice has all melted off the roofs. It will be good if we get some snow on the 24th to insulate around the bottom of the greenhouse.

    Not only is church an opportunity to worship God and give thanks but Sunday School and church help a family raise their children. May God bless you on this day, Sally
