3/25/22  May your day begin with a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and joy in your soul.

The ground is soft, walking is easy, but the ground is still white.  Even with .83 inch of rain.  The bushes and trees are ice covered.  It is 32 degrees and raining.  Periods of rain this morning with a strong NNW breeze.  today's high 46, tonight's low 31.  Cloudy tomorrow with a WSW breeze, a high of 50, a low of 31.  A WNW breeze Sunday with afternoon showers.  A high of 47, a low of 25.  NW winds Monday, morning snow showers, a high of 29, a low of 19.  Partly cloudy Tuesday with a NW wind, a high of 32, a low of 19.  Sunny Wednesday with a stiff NW breeze, a high of 41, a low of 27. Snow showers Thursday morning with a south breeze, a high of 46, a low of 36.  Showers next Friday with a west breeze, a high of 48, a low of 33.  Partly cloudy next Saturday with a stiff WNW breeze, a high of 45, a low of 30.  Cloudy next Sunday with a brisk NW breeze, a high of 49, a low of 33.  Lots of clouds the week of the 4th with brisk NW breezes.  Highs in the mid forties the beginning of the week, 50 the end of the week.  Lows around freezing.

     We'll be taking up the hose Sunday afternoon for a few days thanks to that cold forecast.  We'll shiver and complain for two days, then Wednesday the hose will go back out, we'll move into the back room of the greenhouse, the pansies will go in an unheated greenhouse,  We'll be into the 2022 true spring.  Every day we'll be moving flowers to outside greenhouses and cold frames so we can fill the big greenhouse with heat loving flowers and vegetables.

     I took off some wallpaper yesterday.  Last night Lil Andrew took off lots of old wallpaper in the same amount of time it took me to take off a little!  There isn't much left to do today.

     Lots of birds came yesterday with the snow.  Even one pair of cardinals.  Grackles came too.  With everything covered in ice I'm sure they will be here today too.

     The girls got the boxes planted.   Soon there won't be room to do anything in the big greenhouse.  There are lots of seedlings in the house ready to transplant.

     May God be with you on this day, Sally
