    I transplanted peppermint yesterday.  Bekah planted the entire packet of seed thinking there was 100.  There were a thousand. Then the timer on the seedlings lights didn't work. It was a few days before we realized it.The seedlings weren't ashealty as our seedlings usually are.  If they don't do well there is plenty of time to replant. 

    Bekah had to deal with frozen water in the barn.  Apparently we had a brownout during Thursday night due to the high winds. Several light bulbs blew, including the one in the barn water box..  Not an uncommon occurrence here.  Thankfully we only lost light bulbs.  We may see that much wind again this spring but it doesn't look like we'll see temperatures that low.

    Bekah spent some time on the supply order.  She decided to take some cases of planters off/  Their cost has gone up so much she wasn't sure the customers would want to pay the increased price.  She is very glad she bought so much last fall.

    May God bless you on this day, Sally
