Well it only being early March here I m sure we will have more snow but in the meantime it has been warm enough that what snow remains is melting very slowly so no huge lakes in the lanes! Of course it could still happen!

Shopping this morning I bought the vapor barrier plastic for my raised bed greenhouse covers, need to go to a different store for the rebar I will use to hold down the sides. Basically what I am doing is installing half hoops over the beds and then securing heavy plastic over the hoops leaving the ends open for circulation. I plan to put it on the beds early April to warm up the soil and maybe hasten planting. Hope to avoid what happened last year when I seeded everything and then we had a 2 week cold spell and I had to reseed a lot of the veggies.

My little foster Caramel aka Cara is doing nicely. Thinking part of the whining might be gum discomfort I am giving her some Metacam ( left over from Fancy's dental) and that seems to be helping. Also invested in one of the dental sprays that are supposed to help clean off plaque and some small dental type chews to try to improve things a bit for her. She wont chew bones or carrots which I give my dogs.
We dont want to do surgery because there is a good chance she would not survive the anaesthetic. But of course we risk that she will go into kidney failure because of the dental infection. Well whatever she will have a warm, caring and well fed place for whatever remians of her life!
Here she is after her grooming last week!
