      March is already half over.  We've got 3 plus hours more  of daylight than we had 12/21.March has been a month of clouds and wind, if there is any sun we think it is a nice day.  March's early warmth spoiled us, we are complaining about the cold.  But spring signs are all about a week ahead of average.  As it warms up there is no snow pack to hold the cold.

     For quite a few years there has been a fee added to my electric bill to fund solar farms.  This fee was a "loan" that electricity users can get back as a reduction to their bill.  There is paperwork necessary to go through to get the reduction.  I finally got it for the house and greenhouse bill.  The company doesn't make it easy, that way many customers won't bother.  I want my money back as a matter of principle, I did not choose to fund the farms.  I have a lot of reservations about how "green" they are.

     Bekah spent considerable time on the phone yesterday updating the plugs and cuttings orders.  That happens every year as the supplier always has seedlings that don't do well.  This has been a good year for the supplier, the discounted page has less plants on it than I have ever seen.  Bekah is pleased with the selection she will have for customers even though she couldn't get any at a discount.  The seeds she germinated  in the house are doing well.  The greenhouse is filling up!

      May God bless you on this day, Sally
