      A perm and then to the feed store for chicken grain.  I came home from the store and raised the price of eggs to four dollars a dozen.  They have been $3.50 for a dozen large for quite a while.  When I got home I wrapped presents.

      We got notice that the order for the greenhouse furnace has been processed.  No delivery date was in the notice.  They won't be heating that greenhouse until towards the end of March.  If we have an ice storm it is nice to be able to heat the greenhouse enough to melt the ice off the plastic.

     The girls spent most of the day wrapping presents and making more cookies.  Bekah spent some time going over the spring plug and cutting order.    She has lots of pansies coming for early spring blooms.  She may add some other flowers that do well in early spring.

    Bekah and Doug are delivering hay. I told Bekah I'd make sure the chicken water wasn't frozen.  I am so thankful that I am well enough to be able to do things like that.  I try not to think "If only I had felt this good three weeks ago I would have  more done for Christamas."

     May God bless you on this day, Sally
