Every day, my knee is getting better, and Will is feeling much better too. I’ve been planting tomato seeds like crazy and have a whole flock of flats, sitting inside plastic bags, waiting to germinate, behind our wood stove. Once up, they’re moved into the little plastic greenhouses next to our big patio door windows, facing south. All of them look great! It’s so exciting to me to finally feel good and being able to work instead of lying around feeling frustrated. Our snow is slowly melting, and the temperatures continue to inch upward as spring is creeping upon us. Yesterday, Will looked out into the back yard and saw a robin sitting in a tree! I grabbed the binoculars \u2014 sure he must be wrong. But, no, it was really a robin! We were so excited!<\/p>\n

Our windows are now full of little pepper and tomato seedlings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday, Will made a project of getting our new dryer into the house and into the laundry room. Of course, we never guessed what a job that would be! He had to disassemble the whole thing, both to install the natural gas to LP gas nozzle and to get the darned thing into <\/em>the laundry room! The door is 29 inches wide, with the door off and the dryer is 28\u00be inches wide, even with the front and back taken off! We wiggled and inched it in and finally, it popped through the opening. Now I’ve never owned a brand-new dryer before, so that was something of a real happening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here’s my new dryer sitting happily in the laundry room. I’m so happy to have it finally here after over a month’s wait due to shipping delays.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was tired after all that and went to bed but Will continued working on it, hooking up the gas line, vent, and putting the laundry tub back into place. And <\/em>he tried out the dryer, which worked! Hooray! Now I can avoid the coin laundry like the plague. How expensive drying clothes there was! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
