    Very busy day yesterday with lots of customers.  I sold several hummingbird feeders, everyone seems to be seeing humming birds but me.  I did see a rose breasted grosbeak drinking from the kitchen garden pond.  He was only a day or so later than his average return.   I'm wondering if he will still nest in the old apple tree where Gilbert pruned it.

     gilbert planted another row of beets yesterday.  We got a lot of mulching done.  We found a few spears of asparagus peeking through when we weeded the asparagus bed.  Many people have asparagus already, Gilbert's and mine are just starting.  I think the constant wind keeps our soil cooler.

     No watering outside today, it is pouring now.   The greenhouse will need a good soaking when I get home from church.  It was too hot to work in the greenhouse yesterday.

The next few days will be pleasant in there so we'll finish transplanting flowers.  Yesterday Rachael put the scented geraniums I had started in the house in a cold frame to harden off.

      Lights are flickering, someone is getting more of a storm than we are.  We are often on the edge of the storms, they go around our hill.  

      Have a good day, Sally
