How do so many leaves fall off a tree and get scattered in so many different directions in one day? How many more leaves are still on the tree that will turn and fall and be scattered in the days to come? It almost makes one want to wait until all the leaves are off the tree before picking up a rake or broom. That might be better than raking and sweeping each day for many, many days to come.

I hope that everyone is having a great one. We have once again had a little mixture of weather, cool, rain, warm and sunshine. One can never tell what the March weather will be. Have you noticed the buttercups blooming? I also saw some bushes and trees blooming. I even saw a redbud tree blooming! There is such beauty in spring as it comes to life.

The late evening sun is shining through an upstairs window from where I’m sitting and I notice the brilliance of an outer ring that seems to flow toward the creek as it (sun) begins the journey into the night. I do love to just look and enjoy all we have on this Earth to appreciate. It’s always the little things that seem to make up the circle of life. Like the bright yellow daffodils blooming in Mrs. Callahan’s yard and the many buttercups alongside the road — the little things.

There were pinto beans, several different kinds of chili and some great desserts. While people were eating, some youths from the church provided a puppet show.This may seem like the minutes of the last Monday’s Union City Ruritan meeting, but I am pleased to have so much news from local activities.

How many times did you pinch yourself on Tuesday because you wanted to make sure you weren’t dreaming when the whole day was so spring-like beautiful? Ahhh, the birds chirping, the green finally peeping through the winter-brown ground, buttercups showing off their new spring bonnets and daylight after supper to enjoy a little porch time — it is getting here!

It’s vitamin D that seems to provide the strongest defense against the common cold, according to a recent study. Researchers at the University of Colorado studied 19,000 people about their health habits and took blood samples to determine the frequency of respiratory problems.

The goal of 4-H is to help youth have a sense of belonging, opportunities for mastery, learn independence and lessons in generosity. An upcoming 4-H event called “Health Rocks” will teach youth these important aspects and more.

There are only a few shows I follow. I’ve come to care about the characters in those programs. They’re like family. So naturally it upsets me when homicidal scriptwriters kill them off. Without provocation — or my permission.One of my favorite shows is “Monk,” about an obsessive, compulsive detective. Several episodes have featured his upstairs neighbor, Kevin Dorfman. Kevin is riddled with personality quirks. He talks too much — about nothing. He rambles on about all the places he’s ever lived.

We are told throughout the scriptures that nothing can separate us from God, not even our own sinfulness. In all of life, there are few feelings, needs and insecurities that are more totally and completely fulfilled than when we have a firm and unquestionable conviction that we are not alone, and are wanted and loved! Amen.

Early this morning, as I watched the sun rise, the dew made a scenery patchwork against the outline of our wooden fence and on the fence was a fat Robin with a copper-colored breast that seemed to cover the whole bird. As it cleaned itself from the morning feeding, I felt a sudden peacefulness ... just watching. Taking the time to slow down and watch the simplicity of God’s workings made my day less stressful.

We had such a tragedy last week. The roads can be so wicked. A young man lost his life on a motorcycle. I think sometimes we think if we can avoid getting behind someone before getting into the curves that we can get to town a little quicker, but that doesn’t work. Remember that this is a farming community and you might as well plan to start early because there is always a chance of getting behind farming equipment. It is that time of year to start preparing the ground so use extra caution and don’t be in a rush. Our prayers go out to this family.

There will be good food and fun. Everyone is welcome and it is free! If you need more information, call the church or Brenda Parke at 623-6379.

I hope that everyone is having a great one. Happy birthday wishes go out tomorrow to Matthew McCreary of Harrodsburg. Matthew will be turning 17 and is the son of Doug and Kelly Becknell and Keith McCreary, all of Harrodsburg. Matthew is the grandson of Bud and Sue Elswick of Tates Creek Road and the great grandson of the late Coleman and Nora Broaddus. I hope that you have a very happy birthday and many more happy ones to come.

Monday’s and Tuesday’s weather was so nice, a little windy, but nice; now the cold is back. Lots of folks did manage to get their gardens plowed before the rain on Sunday. Reuben Rose even got his potatoes in the ground, I hear.Waco Elementary PTO will be conducting a yard-sale donation collection Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the old Fire Station Building on Fike Road (behind the school). If you have items that you don’t need anymore, just bring them down where volunteers will sort them and get them ready for sale.
