We arrived back home on Sunday about 9:30. It was nice to see the farm again. It wintered pretty good. There are several limbs down that will need to be picked up and burned but only one we had to stop and get out of the road inorder to get in. We had called ahead to get the phone, cable and internet turned on so we had everything except the cable when we got here. The mail will start up again today. Yesterday we sat around and waited all day for the cable to get hooked up and working. We got all unpacked and things put away. I started some spring cleaning but decided I need to do a deeper job of it. My kitchen is so small if I don’t reorganized my cabinets I will not have enough room for the things I need the most to work with. So each day I will redo one cabinet until I am all done. I also decided to hoe out my closets. I have no room to hang clothes because I have so many there that I never use anymore. I have suits from when I was teaching 15 years ago and will never wear again so it is time to throw them out and make room for the things I do use. It is nice to be back on line. Hope to hear from Joyce and Nancy soon and see how they made it through the winter.
This week it is cold so we have not yet started cleaning up the gardens but need to as soon as this cold snap is over and the promise of snow is gone. The spring flowers are blooming so need to have a clean bed to show off in. Have a good day.

So glad to hear you got thru the winter o.k. It must seem good to get back on the farm. That is your life. We’ve had a pretty good winter. Don just got out of the hospital yesterday. Went in on Fri. and had to stay til Mon. for a chemical stress test. Didn’t find anything. He has pains once in awhile in his heart. I stayed with him. He is very tired and weak today. He has had 3 heart attacks . Has to go back to his regular Dr. and also see a cardiologist from C.M.C. in Manchester. They come to Huggins 2 days a week. Will be glad to see summer get here. Just had a bad storm yesterday, and another coming on Wed. Not looking forward to it. Suppose you will be planting soon, and then you will be busy. Glad you are home. Love, Joyce and Don.
Hi Joyce, So sorry to hear Don’s heart is giving him trouble. Keep him well fed and away from all the foods that are bad for him. Norman’s eye doctor calls me “the food Nazi” but it has kept him healthy and his heart strong so neither one of us mind. Give him our love and keep me posted on his progress. Love Carol and Norman.
