Every morning you have two choices.  Continue to sleep with your dreams or get up and chase them.

 Clear, gentle SW breeze and 18 degrees.  Sunny today, cloudy up around five as spring officially arrives.  A brisk SW breeze today with a high of 44 and a low of 23 tonight.  Mostly cloudy tomorrow with a stiff SSW breeze and a high of 49.  Rain tomorrow night, snow may mix in as the temperature drops to 32 degrees.  About an inch of rain Friday with stiff ENE breezes and a high of 44.  Again snow may mix in with the rain showers Friday night as the temperature drops to 32.  An unpleasant day Saturday with strong NW winds, rain/snow showers in the morning, a high of 39 and a low of 25.  Sunny Sunday with a stiff WNW breeze, a high of 47 and a low of 23.  Scattered rain/snow showers Monday, little accumulation of snow, a stiff WNW breeze, with a high of 35 and a low of 15.  Sunny Tuesday, still that chilly WNW breeze, a high of 35 and a low of 15. Some clouds Wednesday, a little less breeze, a high of 37 and a low of 19.   Sunny Thursday with a NW breeze, a high of 44 and a low of 25.  Sunny next Friday with a west breeze, a high of 49 and a low of 31.  Showers start on Saturday, the 30th and last through the 3rd. with highs in the upper forties and lows in the low thirties.

    Darel's day went well yesterday.  He napped a lot but did walk around the hose little more.  Several red winged black birds and some grackles were under the feeders yesterday.  the red winged black birds looked bedraggles, like they had had a rough trip.

    The andrew's got the back room repaired, draft proof and new plastic on the roof where the wind had removed it.  With the snow melted they found more slits in the plastic of the main greenhouse, ice damage.  They were able to repair them all with greenhouse repair tape.

     Mean while inside the greenhouse I was doing lots of watering by hand because I didn't want to run the hose until about noon today.  I'll decide Sunday is i want to take it up again for the cold days early next week.  We can see the top of the cold frame I move petunias to.  I suspect it will need repair too.  I am so fortunate that the Andrew's make time for these repairs.  Why they were here yesterday they bought in wood too.

     Lots of transplanting was done.  the last box of plugs and cutting comes today.  After I make sure he doesn't set the box upside down like he did at Kirby's I'll walk out with him to  make sure he doesn't lock the door.  Though it is easy to get out the back door now and much less snow along the greenhouse.

    Speaking of Kirby, he is getting in a large container order, large enough so if I add a few things he'll meet the miminum.  I'm very happy to so.  There are some plants that the nursery won't ship bare root that my customers like me to carry.  The problem is, spring fever is setting in.  I'm looking at the book and I would like to get this that and yes those shrubs on that page!  i had to put the catalog away last night and look at it this morning when I'm rested and hopefully wiser.

     Happy to be putting the hose out and leaving it out for awhile.  Lots of time will be spent watering today.  Enjoy your day, Sally
