The past two weekends we have had a candidate for filling the position for preacher at our church.   A young couple with young children, the church kept them busy all week, getting to know them.   We have had two tureen dinners over the last two weekends.  How grand is that?  One of the other events was a mid-day get together for some of the women and young stay at home moms were held at a home.  The Mrs.  seems very nice,  and hearing her husband preach a little more, seems that he would be a good speaker too.  We will know this next week if they will be coming to join us.
The warm air was pleasant while it lasted.  While running the dogs I could stay out in the yard working a little more.  Very wet though.  I noticed buds on the daffodils up at the road, and the pussy willow buds on the tree out front.  Spring is coming, just not today as it started snowing again.

I am almost done with the sweater I have been working on.  One and a half sleeves and the collar and I am done.  Mom ask me to make a dish warmer/ carrier for her so that is next.
Having run out of wood yet again,  Tom went out and bought a few more bags of coal.  He can get it to burn all night.  I can't keep it going for more than 1/2 hour at a time without using more wood.   I have to get the hang of it!

Heirloom seeds came in so I am almost ready to start those.  I may go ahead and start flowers this year and see if I can make some big fancy pots like they have at the stores.
