3/23/25 Jesus “is come” today as well as Christmas, and I pray his holy Presence will fill your day with his perfect, joyful peace.

Our pastor serves two churches, our church has the early service.  Wanting a more leisurely Sunday morning I've decided that the Sunday morning forecast will be a shortened one unless there is a lot of change from Saturday's.  There are a few clouds this morning, it is 21 degrees.  A strong, gusty, cold north wind will dominate today's weather.  It will die down to a stiff NW breeze tonight.  The high will be 34, tonight's low 19.  Clouds will move in tomorrow.  Afternoon and evening snow will total 2-6 inches. A SE breeze tomorrow with a high of 33.  A low of  26 tomorrow night with fog moving in after midnight.  Cloudy Tuesday and Wednesday with SW breezes, highs about 45, lows of 29.

     The sun is shining but the north wind is howling.  The sun is strong, it will help the furnaces keep the greenhouses warm.  Jay and Bekah took advantage of the spring weather yesterday to move plants to the new greenhouse.  Tomorrow when it is snowing they will be transplanting peppers.  Bekah is going to plant moe peppers so customers who don't set their pepper plants out until mid June can choose smaller plants.  Many gardeners, us among them, feel that there is a fine line between a large strong pepper plant and one that is too big to easily transition to the garden.  Others want their pepper plants to have little peppers on them.

     The little birds are glad I stopped putting seeds and suet in feeders the blackbirds liked.  They can eat at the tube feeders and the upside down suet feeder in peace.  There is only one bluejay and no blackbirds out there.  About once a day the blackbirds fly in to see if there is anything to eat.

    Church this morning with no plans to do anything outside this afternoon.  May your day be blessed, Sally..
