     Darel had a comfortable day yesterday with lots of napping.   Darel made it to the kitchen sink to fill his water bottles and was rewarded by seeing the first red winged black bird at the feeders.

    I had to call Mac support yesterday because when I started using the computer more there were still some glitches.  They were as pleasant and helpful as they were Sunday.  From what they have said I am not alone in Chrome problems.  Today I will be writing my blog in the web page again.  And I will start up dating the page now that I'm not afraid of infecting it.

     I watered the house plants and a few things in the greenhouse.  I'm watering the greenhouse by hand until late morning tomorrow when I can run the hose again.  As of now I'm planning on leaving it out the next cold spell.  My heat pads are full of trays.  Lots of the seedlings have germinated and soon will be real to have other trays of seeds take their place.  Alyssum and nemesia like it cool so I put them in a cool spot.  They are all germinated and growing nicely.

      Everything is doing well.  The Andrews are going to repair the wind damage to the back room so it will start heating up.  It looks like I'll be moving plants in April 1st, right on schedule.

      Have a good day, Sally
