After all winter with very little snow or cold, a big winter storm is upon us. Well, they say it’s a storm, but it’s really just snow. It’s snowed all day, and we have about seven inches on the ground now and it’s supposed to dump another six or seven on us overnight and tomorrow. We do need it to cut down the fire danger and to add some moisture to the parched ground. But, after having sunny days near 60 degrees F, it doesn’t make one real happy. Yes, I know it will melt soon but still\u2026<\/p>\n

It’s hard to look at little baby seedlings, then look outside to see heavy snow falling!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I got the last of our tomato seeds planted yesterday. Now there are flats all over the living room! We had to put up a second plastic greenhouse to have a place to put the germinating peppers so the tomatoes could go up behind the wood stove for heat. Whew, I’m glad that’s done. Now, on to petunias and snapdragons, both of which take their sweet time growing. I love the double snapdragons like Madame Butterfly so I’m planting a bunch to tuck around the flower beds this spring.<\/p>\n

We now have five flats of tomatoes planted, just waiting to pop up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On such gray days, it’s perfect to take a nap or wash clothes. Will’s taking the nap and I’m washing clothes in our trusty old wringer washer.<\/p>\n

We had shocking and sad news last week. Our friend, who was volunteering at a Ruby’s Pantry, was severely injured when a big steel bread rack fell on him, causing head trauma and a broken neck. He’s in Duluth right now, on life support and it doesn’t look good. Please add him to your prayers. We love this couple! I hate to see things like this happen to such good people. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
