Goodby February.  Hello March, the month of spring.  We are ready!

Clear, 10 degrees with a light NW breeze.  Sunny today with a WSW breeze, a high of 32 and a low of 9.  Partly cloudy tomorrow with a NNE breeze and a high of 32.  A low of 16 tomorrow night with 1-3 inches of snow.  Partly cloudy Sunday with a light WNW breeze, a high of 36 and a low of 24.  3-5 inches of snow Monday with a strong NNE breeze, a high of 30 and a low of 10.  Mostly sunny Tuesday with a brisk west breeze, a high of 27 and a low of 5.  Partly cloudy Wednesday with a stiff WNW breeze, a high of 21 and a low of -1.  Partly cloudy Friday with a WNW breeze, a high of 25 and a low of 5.  Let us think positive-that will be the last night in the single numbers!  Partly cloudy next Saturday with a NNW breeze, a high of 29 and a low of 13.  Will that be the last night in the teens?  Partly cloudy Sunday the 10th with a NW breeze, a high of 33 and a low of 21.  Snow showers each day of the week of the 11th with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the mid twenties.

     Darel had a good day., we went to Bangor late afternoon.  i put wood on the fires before we left and we got back before they needed more.  Darel was very happy to get out but the ride tired him out.  for awhile he was getting in the truck without help.  He is back to needing help agin.

      I'm enjoying the early daylight.  i do not look forward to March 10th when my mornings will stay dark longer.  Just seem to make a longer work day.  I already fed and watered the birds.  I'm walking on the top of the drifts.  How long will that last?  The three female cardinals aren't getting along very well.  Is it already mating season?

      Lots got done in the greenhouse yesterday.  With so much planting we are bring in lots of cold water.  Thankfully we had sun to help warm it.   Last night I set the propane heater on medium and ran it all night by the water buckets.  Not only to warm the water a bit but to off set the cold air around them.

     today Andrew is going to take off the top foot of snow around the greenhouse.  I want snow for insulation but with some snow coming i don't want it above the bend.  He'll bucket out the Quonset  hut garage too.  I'm walking on top of the drifts to get in but i'm not sure he can.

    We'll be working this weekend.  Two more boxes of plugs and cuttings coming next week.  We've done a lot of planting on his weeks but we have a lot more left to do.

    Sun shining in the windows, time to turn off the lights and get started on the day.   i hope yours is a good one, Sally
