Fair, calm. 30 degrees.When I walk out to the greenhouse to put wood on the fire tomorrow morning at this time it will be dark.

Lots of clouds for the first week of spring with WNW breezes, highs in the mid forties, lows around freezing.

      We can leave the hose out days thanks to the warmer temperatures.  We wouldn't  be able to Sunday but we try not to have to water Sundays.  Next Wednesday we'll stop rolling it up at night.  We'll let it run a little so it doesn't freeze.In the greenhouse we'll put baskets of impatiens on the buckets that are holding water now.

      The three boxes of plants came last night.  Since they were supposed to come Wednesday yesterday  was a slow day   Heather and Bekah spent some time on house plants.  No news on Violet's scans yet.

       Lil Andrew did some work on my kitchen and bathroom ceilings so he can paint them for me.  He put up an LED plant light in the bathroom.  Monday I'll take the towels out of the window and put ivy back on the sill.  That window lets in cold north winds if I don't block them with towels.  I'll put herbs under the new light.

      I'm seeing less of the cardinals.  We don't have enough cover for them to nest in the kitchen garden. So as soon as they get ready to start families they leave,  Now I see them very early and at dusk.  In a few weeks I won't see them at all..  I had to sand the back deck.  It is the only place where there is any ice left.  I'm hoping Saturday's rain will take away that ice and the rest of the skunk smell.

      May God be with you this day, Sally
