Happy Spring. We will welcome the first day of spring this weekend. I don’t know about you but I am ready for bluebonnets and all the Texas wildflowers.
There is an important meeting tonight, March 17, at the Art Methodist Church. Plans are being made to start our Sunday School up again.
The beautiful weather is really appreciated after our taste of severe winter weather. I felt it was time to face the greenhouse on Saturday. There are some signs of life under the limp black foliage. I cleaned the dead leaves and am waiting to see what will come back. I even cleaned the asparagus bed.

Planting with the Signs.

Welcome March. It is our hope that we have more rain, less wind and certainly less freezing temperatures. Hopefully the spring flowers will be spectacular this year.
I am already depressed that daylight savings time is coming in two weeks. No daylight is saved.
The Mason Ministerial Alliance has cancelled their Lenten Lunches.
Mason ISD will have Spring Break March 8 through March 12.
Happy Birthday to Randall Brown on March 4, and to De’Aun Bryan and Tyra Jordan on March 6.

This makes it, wait till the sun shines. Our usual time to plant potatoes is Valentine's Day Feb.
First off, this is a No Knead bread, so those of you who don't like the kneading process will find this one most attractive. It is what is referred to as a “batter bread;” one that has no yeast in it and so you do not have to go through the waiting and rising and punching down routine to put it together.
"It was colder than a penguin's armpit."
"How 'bout, colder than a polar bear's footprints?"
Old friend Tex Luther and I were trying to come up with clever descriptions on the recent record cold spell.
"I heard a couple of good ones at the feed store," said Tex. "One guy said it was so cold he had to get up and break the smoke off his chimney.
Mason citizens are so fortunate to have your column in our newspaper. Your extremely timely and well written article in the February 24, issue was just what we needed to help us understand, in part, the disaster that engulfed our state as a result of our 'cold snap'. I certainly hope Mason residents utilize your valuable weekly information.Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us.
Warmest regards,
