2/25/26“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” May "love thy neighbor" define this season of Lent and our "season" of life.

    We got a dusting.  Tiffany in Rhode Island got 37,5 inches.  At five last evening their street still hadn't been plowed.  They were thankful they hadn't lost power.

     It was ninety in the greenhouse yesterday afternoon.  With just the woodstove going it only dropped to 49 at 4:30 when Behah went out to put wood on the stove.  She had put wood on it at eight-thirty last night.  Before the propane furnace was installed there was a second wood stove.  Bekah was pleased the greenhouse held the heat so well.  The sides are nicely banked with snow.  After she starts the propane furnace tomorrow she'll move some plants out.

    The driveway is polished ice.  I'm going to mix some ice melt with the ashes and see if I can make a safe path to the hens.  The ice melt did a good job behind the house.  I can fill the bird feeders.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
