    Darel had a very quiet day yesterday.  Sally Jo and I were very busy with the greenhouse, we got lots checked off the to do list.   He was glad when Doug showed up to visit in the afternoon.  I was glad because Doug bought piazza for supper,.  I was able to finish my Sunday School lesson so we could take it over to the church and end the day with a stop at the creamery.

     Sally Jo got all caught up on the pruning.  The hanging geraniums are so pretty and all speed out so they will be nicely shaped.  Lots of black and coral petunias, a favorite combination.  And the red, white and blue petunias for flag poles are perfect!  I've got some pieces of clear plastic.  Today I'm going to put them around our flag pole so the soil will warm up quicker.  It will be nice to have the petunias planted around the pole for Open Greenhouse Day.  I give Bradford petunias for their flag pole and other towns and schools get a 10% discount.

     I can't tell if my garden pond still has ice.  that area is just one large pond.  It drains across the road and the culvert is frozen.  The lawn pond went down a lot overnight, maybe it did too.

      I did not put out any sunflower seeds yesterday, most of the day the entire back yard was black with a very large flock of blackbirds.  A nuthatch and a chickadee slipped in for some suet, none of the other birds came near.

     Everything got watered restored day.  That is a big job now.  This afternoon I'll be able to work on my yard.  Perhaps I'll find some crocus showing little green shoots.

Have a Blessed Sunday, Sally
