Don't think about what might happen. Just focus on now, on what you are thankful for and what you can do to get where you want to be.

Darel had a pleasant comfortable day yesterday. In the evening I commented that I couldn't just sit there with it daylight outside, he said, " I'm very content to just sit here."
I've given the rain chance to stop before i go put wood on the fires but it is time to stoke the stoves rain or not. Rain has stopped. Lots of snow has melted. There are bare spots in Gilbert's fields, I can see the chains at the top of the swing set and the snow is gone in front of the house. Now the crocuses can come up. The greenhouse is toasty. The tarp is still on the petunia cold frame so they are toasty too. We filled it up with pruned waves yesterday. Waves for our second round of hanging petunias. i put a large tarp over the plastic nights to hold the heat in.
Moving into the back room and moving the waves to the cold frame was our main accomplishment yesterday. And that was plenty. Though Tamarra did get some petunia seedlings we grow to brighten up flower gardens transplanted. She also put the container tomato plants we give away on Open Green House Day in individual pots.
The Andrews got the new plastic over the hoop house before the wind came up. The ends still need repaired. That was a strong, raw wind yesterday even if it was from the SW. If today goes as planned Conner Will put a tier of wood in the back room from the outside pile. We still have a month of fires. After school Sally Jo and I will move the calibrachoa to the calibrachoa greenhouse. It has an electric heater for cold nights. Even though they are almost as cold hardy as pansies I will put relay over them on chilly nights.
Have a good day, Sally
