       We were all busy yesterday.  Lots of bumping up plants in the greenhouse.  Jay has the hoop house ready for petunias.  The weather forecast says we'll be moving plants out of the big greenhouse first of April, right on schedule.  The snow is leaving without flooding making it easy to get everything ready. Everything will be good for the Coast of Maine deliveries the first week in April.  Some years we've still had snow drifts.  The begonias in the cellar got moved to the greenhouse.

      Doug bought me some maple syrup ready to be cooked down and canned.  The sap run has been enough for family but it hasn't been a very good year for commercial producers.

      The live trap wasn't touched last night.  no smell of skunk either.  The skunk didn't like sharing with a cat? The flock of grackles moved on.  the redwing black birds went with them.  They must not have been the red wing black birds that nest here.

      May God be with you on this day.
