    No ice in the yard except for the sledding pile.Still some snow where it blew against the back of the house.  Gilbert has snow where the snow from the fields blew into his yard..        

The roads weren't very good yesterday so UPS came very late.  A package of peppermint seeds on back order was on the step this morning.  All soaked and ready to plant.  That was the last seed packet on order. 

    With the snow gone there are no concerns about the calibrachoa house flooding.   Bekah is getting ready  to move the  calibrachoas tomorrow.   There will be an electric heater to keep it above 40.  They are wanting to bloom but they need to grow a larger root system

     Spring will come!  May your day be blessed, Sally.
