    Three inches of snow out there now, no hint of spring.  The greenhouse stove must be full of coals, no smoke coming out of the chimney. Not only is everything spring green in the greenhouse but there are blossoms on some of the plants.  Maegin just came in, she says the birds are all protesting, not singing.

    One of our two beehives made it through the winter.  Monday, when it is fifty degrees, Jay is going to open the hive and slide a pollen patty in, just in case they are running low on honey.  I signed up for a beekeeping class yesterday.  We need bees for pollination.  In the late summer of 24 our bees disappeared.  By the next week we had fewer cucumbers and several of the ones we had were misshapen.  Lack of pollinators.  Plus we use lots of honey, we'd like our own.  We don't want to invest in more hives until we have better survival.

     May your day be blessed, Sally
