     I'm so thankful to see the sun.  We only have one heat lamp on the chicks so we check to make sure it isn't burned out every four  or five hours.  When I went out to check it at one am I could tell the weather pattern had shifted the way the air felt, the breeze was different.

    Jay and Bekah were very busy planting bare root nursery stock and helping customers yesterday.  It was a raw, drizzly day but that didn't stop people from coming.  I think they want to stay home in their gardens these sunny days!

    Sister Donna took sister Lynne and I out to lunch yesterday.  We stopped at Renys on the way home.  I looked for a bat for the kids to play ball.  Renys had floors of nice stuff but no bat.  A pleasant way to spend a raw, chilly day.  They are going shopping in Bangor today.  I can't bring myself to spend this sunny day in stores!  Besides, they wear me out!  Even though we have some chilly nights coming up next week we want to move plants outside.  We will cover them with remay next week.  Some may see a frost Tuesday night but we won't.

     May God bless you on this day, Sally
