   Rain this morning is ok, I'm still working on my houseplants.  When I went out of the house to go to Bible study the ducks had gotten in the garage and were dead heading the fuchsia that I'm hanging in my bedroom. It's the only one I started new last spring.  The others have been put down cellar the last three winters, they were ok this summer but not good enough to hold over. 

  I didn't get any windows washed yesterday. so they are at the top of today's list.  It is "make butter" day so I may not finish the plants.  My 

hoya plants that I use for curtains in the front room need some TLC before I put the other plants back in.  Bekah has some plants in the store that we need to find room for.  Bekah and I both have too many plants!  We call them winter climate control for the house!

  May your day be blessed, Sally
