Carol Perkins: How my garden grows Previous Column Freedom is a highway By Carol Perkins When you look at your trees, bushes, and flowers, is there a special meaning or story to go along with any of them? A few days ago, I planted a root from a rose bush from my mother's that came from my grandmother Sullivan, so this rose bush goes back long before me. I also brought home a root from an old-fashioned lilac bush that came from my great-uncle's house. It, too, outdated my birth. I dug up some daylilies that my cousin had set out in my mother's flower bed at least ten years ago. She had brought them from her mother's garden. As they grow, I will think about their origin. In the process of cleaning up the "fence row" as I described several weeks ago, to have a flower garden, we uncovered one of Jon's "diggers" from when he was a boy. We found a mailbox, bricks, concrete blocks, a sign, and a metal basketball goal that once sat in our driveway until someone backed over the post and down it went. Over the years, Guy has placed leaves, dried pine needles, fallen tree limbs, and sticks on this bank.

Letter: Clarification on COVID-19 vaccine needed Gena Grider writes Clarification is needed on the Covid vaccinations. I was very confused, and found out I'm not the only one, when it says that everyone can get the vaccine. They mean everyone 16 and older. But, in our district (according to the health Dept) we don't have the Pfizer vaccine. Which is the only one approved for 16 and up. 2021-04-14 07:13:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
