    With a  little help from me Debbie got the tomatoes picked and sweet potatoes dug.  Heather helped her get them weighed and in the greenhouse to cure.  I picked the broccoli,  With the forecast the broccoli will keep putting out shoots.

    Both the Heathers had made pickled beets for Bekah.  I took them down in the evening.  Violet was happy and doing well.  The visiting nurse came yesterday to make sure Bekah and Jay were keeping the feeding tube and piic line properly flushed.

    I emptied and defrosted one of my freezers  Bekah and Darel's Heather will share it.  Now I have to get the other one that I am using done.

     The Andrew's cleaned the chimney.   I cleaned the stove inside and out.  It is now a shiny black centerpiece of the kitchen again.  It makes such a difference in the appearance of the kitchen. I should do better keeping it shiny.

     Last spring I put up white curtains with butterflies and flowers on them.  I was given some white curtains with chickens on them.   The colors are more in sync with winter.  Cindy put them up for me, making the get together room seem warm and cozy.  Now I need to get the north wall banked so the house is warm!

     Back to working on spring orders today.  May God be with you, Sally
