     i hope everything goes well!  :)   
      
     the ground is not frozen here, but we are still getting   
   plenty of below freezing nights.  i won't be planting   
   anything much for a few more weeks and then whatever i do   
   plant will have to be cold tolerant.  so i will put in   
   some early peas and see if they'll start.  as usual i'm   
   excited to have new peas and beans to plant.
