Is it Spring Yet?

NO, but I can wish... What a winter we have had so far. It even snowed for about an hour two weeks ago but no accumulation. Folks, it is not suppose to snow in Florida... So much for global warming, what a scam.

So... We are rushing spring... I always wanted a green house to get the jump on spring so we built a 12 X 20 hoop style green house for the first time so we will see how things go. It is 89 degrees (F) in the green house today so I know the seed Trish planted yesterday are loving that. She started 72 pots of seed for tomato, cucumber, and pepper plants. We plan to start a flat of 72 each Saturday for the next four weeks. These are all heirloom seeds so we are trying something different. We hope to have plenty of plants for our garden (30 x 50) and sell the rest for $1.00 each. I'll add a picture of the green house and update next week on the new seedlings... Stay warm and pray fro early spring!

The Silence after Christmas

Well what a Christmas season we had this year! We had all the kids and grand kids here for the holidays and now they are gone. Jimmy and his family left two days after Christmas and Christi and JJ left yesterday. When Trish and I returned home from the airport it was so quite... We decided to just take it easy for a couple days and start taking down the decorations. We will spend the next few weeks planning 2010 and the next chapter.

Today, however, I must thaw some water pipes so we can have water. The last few days it has been so cold, 19 degrees last night. The wind blew the door open to the pump house and some of the pipes froze. I put an electric heater near the pipes early this morning so we should have water soon. More later... JC
