Garden Tip: When you have to fertilize your plants, use compost or manure tea. Make the tea this way: 5 gallons of water with 1 gallon of compost or manure. Let stand for about three days then take off the stained water down to the solid material at the bottom of your bucket. Then start over after you bury the solid material at the bottom. This is what the older folks used instead of fertilizer that you dissolve in water. Note: If you have a friend that owns an animal, borrow some of the manure from their pasture.

• Happy birthday greetings to: Diana Crittenden on may 8; Mardell Berry on May 11; Brent Bailey and Lisa Mickle on May 13 and to Michael Owens on May 19.

Decoration day will be at the Warrior Cemetery, Cane Creek and Stewart’s Chapel on May 10. WE miss many of our folks that have left this walk of life, so we decorate their graves to show how much we miss them.

Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers on May 10. Here is a poem that I thought everyone would enjoy. “For Mother’s Day” My mother taught my heart to see a velvet coated bumble bee. My mother taught my heart to know Allegro-singing winds that blow. To find a daisy field as fair as pages from a book of prayer, and always when I walk the sod, to walk a chapel aisle to God.

• Our country still needs prayer and also the American troops that are in harm’s way.
