good morning wonderful friends. we had a good day yesterday and plan on today being good one today as well. God made it, so it will have to be a good day. yesterday, we went to Lowes and I finally got some more container soil, so I'll be working on getting some of my containers filled and ready to plant seeds in or set my starts in when the right time rolls around. the wind has howled and it's rained some. it was a really windy night and this morning is starting to be windy also. lots of trees came down in the county last night, taking out electricity across the county. so I don't know what all else it will do, but I just hope it calms down today. we got our walk in yesterday morning early and while we was walking, there was wood pecker that was really making a lot noise trying to get at his early morning snack. I'm always hearing them and mentioning them, but I do love hearing a wood pecker. when we still lived in another state, there was a metal grain bin in the far back corner of where the yard and the farm started, and the crazy wood peckers would land on that grain bin and sit there pecking on it for hours at a time!!!! I wish I could have taken a recording of it, but I didn't think about it at the time. but if you ever hear it, it's hilarious. I'll tell you what I'd love to hear tonight. an owl. we used to have 2 pairs of owls that hung out in the trees close by, and it was an awesome sound to hear them calling to each other. the 2 pairs of owls were different. so their calls to each other were different sounding and it was such an awesome experience to hear their calls to one another. I love the sounds of nature and birds. it just seems they help to make all the turmoil going on around us all the time, a little more bearable.
---------------------------------
so, lets do "2 minutes in the kitchen with me" and we'll talk tomatoes. so I had started tomatoes in one of my Dak Ride hydroponic systems I had gotten form amazon last year. I started these on Feb 3rd. I took them from the hydro unit on Feb 26th and put them in solo cups with holes in the bottom so the seed starter soil can soak up water. to do this, I have to keep the tomatoes very wet for the first week or so, to transition them from water to soil. these are my small ones, mini, dwarfs, and tom thumb types. they won't get very large at all, but they will produce like nobody's business.
I got all of my tomatoes out in the sprout house in the garage with the grow lights and heat mats and everything is set. I hope it's enough to protect them from any severe cold that we may have coming up before spring arrives.
---------------------------

Psalm 121, this is one of my absolute favorites. kjv says "I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help!!" help comes from no one but the Lord!!!! such a beautiful psalm and we should be confident that God will do what He has said He'll do!!! He is our help!!!

I pray that we will praise God at all times and that we continue to be seeking after the heart of God in all that we do.
