Of course, they’re the earliest petunia seeds, which I planted last week. But it’s terribly exciting to see those tiny little seedlings bravely poking up, with two feet of snow, right outside of the window. I started them in a flat, covered by a plastic bag, to hold in moisture, like I do all of my seeds. They loved it and have germinated well. Will moved them to inside one of the little plastic greenhouses, we have set up on the seed table, next to the south-facing window in our seed room. Today, I planted another flat of another fancy petunia, whose seeds were as fine as dust. There was no “planting,” rather, gently shaking out the little plastic bag they were in. Here’s hoping they scattered well!<\/p>\n

Today, Will got the last coat of used motor oil on the flatbed for our pickup truck. Then he lifted it in place on the truck with our little Kubota. There’s still some work to do on it and it needs to be bolted down, but it looks so nice, in place of the old, rusted out box that was on there! That flatbed will make picking up hay in the field so much easier as it will slide into place and there’s no more tossing it over the sides of the box. Yea!<\/p>\n

David’s been steadily working on his cabin. Well, not a cabin any longer, but a house. Hey, it has a big, tiled shower with two shower heads and a flush toilet! Yesterday, he came over and got 10 gallons of water to give it its first flush, as he had just glued up the drain down to the outlet. It did flush and it did not leak \u2014 yes! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
