      Darel's pulse was very high yesterday morning.  He wanted me to go to Sunday School, said he nap right there in his chair.  I went in to check on him before I left, he asked me to sit down.  As usual he doesn't remember having an "event"  After a bit he drifted into a restful sleep.  Three hours later when he woke up he didn't want lunch, he wanted to go to the Creamery.  We did. The rest of the day was peaceful with a long afternoon nap and early to bed.

      I didn't't get much done yesterday. some house cleaning.  I fixed one heater cord, Andrew stopped by and repaired the other.  I did all I could to make sure the greenhouses and cold frame will be snug and warm with the chilly night time temperatures this week.  According to the 15 day forecast Thursday night will be the last night the temperature will drop below freezing.  If that forecast holds pansies will go on sale this weekend.

     Darel has some blood work this morning.  I will finish pruning and placing the petunias we moved Saturday so they have more room.  This will be the week of transplanting pepper.  I hope to get the store set up this week.  The seed packets need priced.  If the hoses are too much we will start cleaning out side Saturday.  If the weather report holds it will be time to uncover the perennials.

     I heard killdeer last night.  I hope they get through the next few days ok.  Spring snows are only with us a short time.  Have a good day, Sally
