    This weekend is Open House for the maple syrup people.  Not much sap will be running and it won't run much all week.  It will be the first week in April before there is a good run.  An updated spring weather forecast was posted yesterday.  Instead of a warm April,  April, May and June are forecast to be cooler than average.  There was no precipitation forecast.  Last summer was a poor year for hay production.  Many farmers don't have the hay reserve they usually do.  Grass grows in cool temperatures.  Hopefully the weather isn't so cool that pasture turnout is delayed.  I'm as concerned about the lack of moisture as I am the cool forecast.
     Bekah and Jay got their steps in yesterday!  They don't have little red wagons, they have green ones that hold three plant trays. Three trays at a time plants were moved. The second greenhouse now has lots of plants in it and there is room in the first greenhouse for the plants that like it warm to grow.
The next big move will be when it is time for the tomatoes to be transplanted.  Pansies will go in the hoop house, petunias in the cold frames.  Maybe containers of pansies can go outside for Easter but It looks like the ground may still be frozen.
    The sun is trying to break through.  It doesn't take much sun for the thermostat to stop turning the propane furnace on.  May your day be blessed.  Sally
