It’s another beautiful cold morning but is warming up nicely. It was 35 when I got up and is 45 now and on the way to 60. I’ll take it, thank you very much Lord. 

This morning I am starting to get my stuff organized so I can plant my tomato seeds. Yesterday I went out and ought a LED “shop light” to use as a “grow light”. The problem is that it is a foot too long for where I’m planning to put my seedling cups. So I have that issues to figure out. I told y’all that I’m using the “solo-cup” planting system. It takes two solo cups per seed or couple of seeds. I got my 1/4 inch holes drilled in all of the inside cups to allow water to seep up and roots to grow out of.  (Per a video I saw) and I bought some “river pebbles” yesterday at Lowes and have put a couple of pebbles in each of the outside cups to give a bit of distance between the cups. (Per a different video I saw. —— what would we do without the internet and You Tube to tell us how to breathe?) I also bought some Miracle Gro garden soil to put in my cups to plant the seeds in. I taught about using potting soil instead of garden dirt but convinced myself that the dirt would be a better medium. Of course that decision was based a pure guess.  So, now I have to clean all of the stuff off of the shelf that I intend to put the cups on. One thing always leads to another doesn’t it.

I just got one of those scam phone calls allegedly from “my grandson”. I knew instantly that it wasn’t one of mine because He started out with “Hey Grandpa” and none of my grandchildren call me by that name. They each have  their own endearing name for me, and none of them call me Grandpa. But — I let him tell his tale of woe and then hung up on him. I guess I’m a “bad grandpa”. LOLOLOL

One week from now I will be sitting in a waiting room for the doctor’s to come tell me that they have finished Kate’s surgery. This Friday she has to start with some of her prep stuff including me giving her her Lovenox injections. We are both so anxious about this surgery getting done. Amazingly enough, I don’t think either of us is “frightened” about her having it. We just assume it is going to go well and will take care of the issues she has been having. We have turned this over to God and God will make happen what ever is right. 

So tat is it for today. Have a pleasant day. Say a prayer for all of the people in this world that are facing crises of any kind. Peace
