The Garden Group is excited to have this brochure to inform people about our future Timber Valley Community Garden. The brochure will be available in the office for visitors and will be included in the new member packet. It will also be on the table at the March Escapade. Thank you, Garden Group, for all of the hard work to create this informational brochure.

When I looked into my chrysanthemum pots, I noticed new growth. Little green leaves in January??? Is this another of mother nature’s notice about global warming??? March, not January is usually when we begin to get excited about gardening. However, waiting until the days get longer and a bit warmer is no longer needed. Winter planting is also possible.
Let’s attend the Garden Group educational program on Friday the 27th at 3 pm. Melinda will bring what is needed to put the seeds in the dirt and watch for seedlings to arrive just in time for planting. Nature is truly amazing. It seems to know when to sprout and to grow baby veggies.
So for those Who Give A Crop be at the Clubhouse on Friday and bring a snack to share.

I often take Vanessa for walks after dark. My night vision is still pretty good, so I often don’t bother with a flashlight. A park member mentioned to me that she was not able to see me the other night because I was wearing dark clothes and Vanessa is VERY black. She made me aware that, although I can see okay, I am not seen by others. I will be carrying a small flashlight in the future and will put reflective tape on my jacket.

Wheelchair volleyball? Not necessarily. Generally just plain ole chairs. A nasty hard volleyball? No. A nice soft squishy beach ball. And a low net. Put six or so folks in those chairs, add the big ball and fun begins. Some return the ball with finesse. I return it in pure self-defense. It’s crazy, fun with lots of laughs. It’s letting your inner child out to play.
We play Sundays at 1 p.m. We’ve lost many of our players to the lure of the south, so we really need YOU. It’s exercise, it’s socializing and it’s getting out of the house during gloomy weather. If you’re not brave enough to try it, at least come and watch and have a few good laughs
