2/23/22  When you look at life with gratitude the world becomes a magical place.

A west breeze, clouds, 43 degrees.  .77 inches of rain.  I'm anxious for daylight so I can see how much ice is gone.  More will leave today with a WSW wind, a high of 58 and some breaks of sun this afternoon.    A NW wind overnight as the temperature drops to 10 under clearing skis.  The price of propane I'm glad we have the wood stove in the greenhouse to help the furnace.  Partly cloudy tomorrow with a stiff NW breeze, a high of 23, a low of 9. 3-5 inches of snow Friday with a stiff NE breeze, a high of 14, a low of 0.  Sunny Saturday with a west breeze, a high of 27, a low of 13.  Cloudy Sunday with a stiff WSW breeze, a high of 33, a low of 5.  Partly cloudy Monday with a light NW wind, a high of 18, a low of 3.  Partly cloudy Tuesday with a stiff SW breeze, a high of 32, a low of 21.  Partly cloudy next Wednesday with a west breeze, a high of 38, a low of 18.  A brisk WNW breeze Thursday with a high of 34, some clouds, a low of 17.  Partly cloudy next Friday with a WNW breeze, a high of 36. a low of 25. Rain Saturday, the 5th, some snow may mix in late.  A WNW breeze with a high of 41, a low of 22.

Partly cloudy the next few days with brisk WNW breezes, highs in the twenties, lows in the teens.

     A few more changes in the plug and cutting order yesterday as Jolly Farmer prepares to fill our boxes.  Bekah ordered some house plants customers have been asking for.  There is room for more plants in the shipments coming on  March 7th and 21st but will there be room for more plants in the greenhouse?  Violet was anxious to come to the farm with Bekah but she mostly slept or sat on Mama's lap.  Today the visiting nurse comes to check her numbers and get blood samples.

     Andrew spent a couple hours looking for and eliminating air leaks in the greenhouse.  We don't want any of the precious heat escaping.  Friday's snow will bank the bottom for us.  Heather and Bekah went to town to choose more paint for the sign.  Heather will try to get it finished before plants come.  Soon as the frost is out Doug will replace the posts the sleeping paper man took out so the new signs can go up.  Mike has made new signs for the sign showing what is in season and available.  We have a new flag and flagpole too.

     It isn't very light yet and the fog is so dense I can't see how much ice is gone.  I can tell that enough is gone so there will be no problem walking to the greenhouse.  I'm hitting the  send button and heading out to the greenhouse to start the fires for the 2022 season!

     May God be with you this day, Sally
