    If you are even half way warm this morning give thanks.  Pray for the many who are just plain cold!

    The man installing the furnace in the greenhouse came yesterday.  He told Jay what he wanted for a base.  They would like to build it right away but I'm not sure the sun will be enough to warm up the greenhouse enough for them to want to work on it. Jordn, the Mikes and Darel install Anderson windows.  they aren't working today or tomorrow..

    Sylvia, the cat that almost got caught by a predator is doing well.   For several days she has wanted to sit on my lap but she didn't want me to touch her.  The last few days she has wanted me to pet her.  She is on my lap putting her head and paws on my hands.  Darel has seen a beautiful red fox crossing the field several times.  Other years when there have been a lot of coyotes around foxes have been bold about coming into the yard.  Our two barn cats are still with us but the strays that were eating our cat food last fall haven't been around.

     Bekah planted more seeds yesterday.  Seeds that germinate at cooler temperatures.

     I have a doctor's appointment this morning.  They say I should be frugal and not warm up my truck.  I'm not sure who "they" are but I will be warming up my truck this morning.  May your day be blessed, Sally
