     Bekah planted seeds yesterday, filling the germination shelves in the laundry.  She planted some Prairie Smoke seeds.  Prairie Smoke is a beautiful native shrub.  She planted some seeds a few years ago and only wound up with two plants.  Now that she has more room she is trying again.

     She also worked on the Paris Farmers Union order.  It was nice to be ordering shepard hooks to hang baskets of flowers on.  Thinking about hummingbirds flying into baskets of cascading purple waves was better than looking outside at the big snowflakes mixing in the cold rain!  Griffin supply has a flash sale. She is checking to see if the sale items can come with the order we have coming the first week in April.   Shipping can make the sale items too expensive.

    I stopped putting seeds on the platform feeders.  The blue jays and pine grosbeaks aren't  happy but the seeds were bringing in too many blackbirds.  They would clean the seeds up in an hour and they were keeping the little birds away from their feeders.  Yesterday afternoon there were some little birds back.  Today I'd like to get the Christmas trees gone.  They are brown and ugly now.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
