Weekly News:

Good morning!
We had a pretty good week on the farm,  Monday and Tuesday did some land prep and planted beets, carrots,
and radishes.  The weather service is really getting pretty good as they were forecasting the rain and cold at
the first of the week and allowed us to make plans accordingly.  Course there's nothing like making plans
to ensure they won't work out,  Wednesday night the greenhouse heater broke a motor mount which shut
down the blower which in turn shut down the burner,  Not a big issue except for the little tomato plants
sticking their heads up and saying ouch! its cold,  So anyway finally got that sorted out yesterday with
a new heater and life in the greenhouse is good again.  Of course doing all these other projects has
caused Sarah's kitchen to be put on hold but hopefully will sort that out next week.
Meanwhile Henry is performing in the High School musical so we've been busy chasing him back and forth
to rehearsals,  There are three performances this weekend plus he's off to a OIL event this morning in Fredericksburg.
Thanks for your support,
Gary & Sarah
