5/9/25You get back from the earth what you put into it.  Nothing nurtures the world above the soil more than the soil itself.

 An east breeze, clouds, 45 degrees.  Overcast today, a strong ENE breeze, a high of 58.  Rain tonight, an ENE breeze, a low of 45.  Rain tomorrow, showers in the evening.  A strong NNE breeze during the day, a stiff NW breeze tomorrow night.  A high of 50, a low of 45.  A NW wind Sunday, Mother's Day, partly cloudy, a hgh of 63, a low of 40.  Mostly cloudy Monday with a stiff WSW breeze, a high of 67, a low of 48.  A SE breeze Tuesday, sun and clouds, a high of 74, a low of 47.  Partly cloudy Wednesday with a brisk SW breeze, a high of 79, a low of 58.  Mostly cloudy Thursday with an ESE breeze, a high of 76, a low of 56.  Mostly cloudy next Friday with a n ESE breeze, a high of 70, a low of 52.  Mostly cloudy next weekend with SE breezes, highs of 64, lows of 50.  Occasional showers the week of the 19th with highs in the mid sixties, lows about 50.

   Spring concerts at school and a steady stream of customers meant there wasn't much of a dent made in the to do list.  Doug came over with his tractor and moved some of the pallets of soil.  Then he came back with some gravel to fill in the potholes.  They  used the wheelbarrow to haul sand to level out paths.  We've had so much rain that the main roads are the only ones with holes.  Maegin is mowing as I type, getting it checked off the list before customers come.

   Lots of hanging baskets have left.  A good thing.  They are getting so large that the ones left are glad for more room.  Customers are buying tomato and pepper plants, assuring us that they aren't planting them yet.  We are glad we got the onions and potatoes planted back when the ground was dry enough to til.  Next week's weather looks good.  It is still May, plenty of time to get all the early crops planted.

   May your day be blessed, Sally
