     The sky is clearing already, the sun is rising.  Enjoy the pleasant temperatures why they are here.  Even though we are only half way through the twelve days of Christmas we are going to take some outside Christmas decorations down why everything is thawed.

     My doctor's appointment went well.  Bloodwork again to make sure I'm not slipping backward.  She straightened out my back.  Since it had been very out of place I didn't do much the rest of the day.  Bekah had me look at the seed order.  Only thing I saw that she missed was eucalyptus seeds.  Jay and I think she should order more marigold seeds for a late crop.  Most of the seeds will come from Johnny's.  To get the varieties of vegetables Jay wanted some seeds will come from Fedco and Seedway.  Gilbert combined most of his seed order with ours.  Heather added flower seeds for her bouquets.

     In the evening we celebrated Maisy's birthday.  She wanted French toast and bacon for supper so that's what they had.  I had left overs from my seafood platter the night before.

     May God be with you as you make your plans for the new year.  Sally
