   The Loop is late because instead of copying it I deleted it!  I'm re writing it.

    The Bailey order came yesterday.  Lots of fruit trees but no Wolf Rivers.  But we got 150 Ginkgo Biloba!  They grow in our zone but we didn't order them.  We've never even thought about ordering some! We'll be getting a call today, some nursery is looking for them.  All the trees and shrubs look great.  Some of the fruit trees have already been sold.  Customers bought them bareroot.  Everyone but me will be very busy the next few days potting them up.

   I got the new butter churn.   Tomorrow I'll make butter.  I went by the church pansies twice Wednesday and forgot to uncover them.   I uncovered them yesterday.  They look great.  Thanks to the protection of the remay they enjoyed a gentle rain.  No snowflakes touched them!  And it didn't drop to 22 degrees under the remay.

   May your day be blessed, Sally
