      WOW we are getting what the meteorologist predicted a winter storm.  We had rain till midnight then it turned into snow.  The wind was strong but now it has come up more.  The pictures you see is looking to the north in town.  We are thankful that we have electricity, and all the stoves are working well.  Hopefully you all are having that too.   Stay safe, stay warm 

Australia family and friends for March 6, is having 79F(26C) 7 degrees above normal.  Stay cool, stay safe

What are you doing today?  I usually make potato donuts during a blizzard, but there is a chance I will go out to the greenhouse this afternoon.  So, I put frozen sweet rolls out to raise. 
We were to get plant plugs today.  But the County isn’t going out to clear roads yet, so hopefully the delivery company will keep the plants in the warehouse till tomorrow. 
​
Here are some words of hope for March and gardening. 
March is a time of rebirth. Spring is upon us, the temperatures are warming, and our gardens are seeing the benefits. The month may start dark, cold and gloomy for most of us, but by the end of the month we should all be holding a seed of hope for Spring. You may even see tender shoots starting to poke up from the ground.  This will come.  Be safe all.
