cold auto repair to no avail

Saturday we where coming back from auction when the SUV started smoking and over heating and then just gave up the ghost--to say. The next day Daniel started to work on it in the bitter cold--it was really cold, I know this because when I cracked the door to ask if he was cold or not he really did not give a happy answer. But I still checked on him from the exceedingly warmth of the house every so often. Once mom said, "shouldn't you help him?", A quick response,"this hot cocoa wont drink itself." After several hours of work he found that there is no saving it, its done and over--so we bought a mini van for a couple of grand and 151000 miles on it.

   Luckily, most of our inputs have already been purchased and paid for the coming season. We have been trying to get our high tunnel back up after moving it--hopefully, we will have it done by end of February. One of our new ideas for the coming season is sprouts and sprigs for the beginning of the markets, it seems like a good idea...so, if your a customer of ours look for them items at the next winter market in Palatine or in May at our markets. 

God bless
