      .Monday and Tuesday's cold will give the builders a chance to get building materials to the building site, the woodcutter a chance to get that last load of wood hauled, and it will make the sap run.  We will be ready to start moving  plants Wednesday., right on schedule.  Yesterday Bekah and Debbie tightened up the back room so there are no air leaks.  This fall it will need new plastic.  Debbie did some transplanting.  I went to Corinth for some pipe insulation to put on the coldframe lids to close some gaps.

      There is a skunk in the live trap.  The ground is thawed enough so I can fill in the hole that goes under the house.  I'm hoping without a readymade hole another skunk doesn't decide it wants to live under my kitchen.

      The walls are ready for wallpaper, today's job.  Jay will keep on getting outside work done.  Debbie thinks it has dried up enough so she can get the new greenhouse ready for the pansies.  Jay patched the holes.  It will need new plastic this fall too.  The covering that came with it was pretty poor quality.  You get what you pay for.

      May God be with you on this day, Sally
