They have reached a point on the new greenhouse where they need help. Saturday is scheduled for a crew to stand the hoops. They are relieved that the icy rain is coming Friday morning, not Saturday.Two pellet stoves on low make this house very warm and cozy. They do a better job than one pellet stove on high and burn about the same amount of pellets. I used to use an electric heater in this computer corner. I thought we had some new birds this morning. No, it was the little birds fluffed up twice their size to keep warm.
Yesterday Ruby was pulling at her ear. Maegin checked it, a tick was behind her ear full of blood! Maegin pulled the tick, Ruby is on two weeks of antibiotics, three doses a day. Maegin was quite upset that she had missed seeing it. I wear black knee high socks. I found one trying to bite me through the sock the other day.
Bekah and Jay have been having trouble with the greenhouse wood stove smoking. They ran a pipe down from the top and up from the bottom,nothing came out. They thought the stove was wearing out, it certainly has seen better days. Doug came over to look at it with them. He told them to take it apart at the elbow. It was clogged ringt in the middle of the elbow. Bekah said, "Dad to the rescue!" Doug has burned wood a lot more years than they have. They are very happy to have the stove burning clean and hot.
May God bless you on this day, Sally
