    Darel had a good day yesterday with a ride to Corinth for ice cream at the Creamery and a Chef's salad from Countryside for supper.

    I mostly water yesterday.  I planted some seeds and got ready to move to the hoop house today. Siince April weather is not to be trusted everything has to be in place in case it turns cold.  I am fortunate that all the plants look great despite last the cold and high winds.  The pansies will be glad to get out of the hot greenhouse.  And the petunias that are moving to the hoop house are way over crowded.  The pansies are going in the place in the hoop house reserved for cucumbers.  Surely it will stop snowing by the time I'm planting cucumbers!

     The snowbanks behind the house are ice banks, covered with sunflower shells so it is possible to walk on them.  There is a huge chunk of ice on the back deck where snow came off the roof.  I sanded it yesterday so I could get to the ice banks and fill the bird feeders.  Now I just hope the grackles let my regulars eat.  Usually if I chase the grackles a few times they stay away for awhile.  But i really don't have time to be guarding the feeders!

     A busy day ahead for me, i hope yours is good, Sally
