But we woke up to just a light dusting. Yep, it’ll probably come later on, I thought as I drove seed orders to the post office. I was sure glad the roads were clear and just wet. With the spring-like weather we’ve had lately, I have been getting antsy to plant. Well, I did plant \u2014 inside. Today, I’ll continue transplanting our peppers into larger pots.
