2/23/26  When the seed meets soil, the meal begins.  Our meals are usually planned around our garden.

Cloudy, a NW breeze, 16 degrees.  A Nor'easter moves in this afternoon with 2-4 inches of snow for Bradford, snow amount increases toward the coast. Strong, gusty NNE wind today becomes strong gusty NNW winds tonight.  School has been canceled because of blowing snow for the afternoon bus run.  We are in the zone of moderate chance of power outages.  Partly cloudy tomorrow  with a strong NW breeze, high 29, low 1.  1-3 inches of snow  Wednesday with an ESE breeze, high 29, low 15.  Cloudy Thursday with a brisk west breeze, high 37, low 14.

   The last three days the weather channel has been trying to make me go premium by blocking the forest with a premium ad every few minutes.  The format doesn't allow for a nice print off.  And now I have to click into the details to get the wind forecast.  With the greenhouse and animals the wind forecast is important to us.  Other sources I look at are only seven days.

   Someone put generator gas in their car so we have to go get the generator gas cans filled this morning.  If we are prepared we won't lose our power!

There won't be any cars parked under the pine tree!  The wind hasn't switched from the NW to the NE yet. As much as possible chores will be done by noon.  We get the full brunt of the wind on this hill.  The farmers and ranchers in the path of the Oklahoma and Kansas wildfires continue to be in our prayers.  Regardless of the weather greenhouse and garden plans will continue.  It is getting late enough in the year so we know what vegetables or fruit we didn't freeze or can enough of.  We didn't save enough potatoes or squash.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
