     Darel had a quiet, comfortable day yesterday.  He spent most of his day watching me make a mess as i redid the vines around the front window.  Not only do they look better but a lot more sun can get in.  As i suspected it was an al day job.  I slipped lot of hoya pieces.  If they root I'll have lots to give away.

      The fishing derby got in the way of the new stove pipe Sunday.  So it is going in today.  I think I'll start  a fire in the head house, give the sun a boost warming up the green house.  When the new stove pipe is done I'll want to start a fire in that stove just to make sure it will draw well.  I won't get up every three hors but i may get up once just to keep the fires going.  There is a lot of frozen soil, once it starts warming I'm not going to want to let if freeze.  I'll want everything warm the nights of March 3rd and 4th,  Let's hope it hold true that if March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb.  I'd like to think Saturday why it is warm I can move the pansies and waves out to the greenhouse.  That will give me room under the lights to start more seeds.

      Have a good day, Sally
