4/`9/23 You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

      In a day's time the grass and fields have turned green.Even the way yesterday's rain came in sudden cloud bursts shouted spring.     Jay is going over to help Mike move today and will pick up the onion sets.  Potatoes will be next.  We got confirmation for  the first week in May delivery of strawberry plants.  Also asparagus roots and raspberry plants. 

      Yesterday Jay and Bekah set the baker up for plants.  A temporary set up for this year.  After they have used it for a season they will know how they want to set it up.  Plus the to-do list is very long.  The warm nights we've been having have made heaters in the outside greenhouses unnecessary.  Thanks to the cool nights we are getting now they had to take time to set up heaters.  They even started the wood stove in the big greenhouse last night.  We are getting propane delivery today.  We hope it is the last delivery of the season.  The heat from the wood stove will help with that goal.  Pepper and tomato plants like a warm greenhouse.

     Gilbert set up a small temporary greenhouse for my  plants.  I'm hoping I have enough energy to start a herb garden and have lots of flowers in my flower gardens.  Any room I don't use in the big greenhouse means room for more plants for customers.  Plus a tiny greenhouse right outside my door will give me room to putter.

     The chicks are doing well.  Already I need to be thinking about giving them more room.  My little brooder isn't convenient for so many chicks. but we are making it work for this year.  The egg shortage seems to be over.  By next year we will have a better idea what our egg sales will be.

      May God bless you on this day, Sally
