 ABOUT THIS ISSUE'S COVER - There’s an old saying...You Can’t See the Forest for the Trees. Now there’s a new saying: You Can’t See the Flowers for the Weeds! The photos on our March cover are actual blooms from Debbie’s yard. Some survived from last year due to our mild winter. It is believed that the Double Yellow Hibiscus was planted by the original owner, Mrs. Luben LeBlanc, perhaps even in the late ‘60’s. Our fast paced lives could be looked upon as fast growing weeds in our flower beds of life. Maybe you can’t get rid of all of the weeds but take some time to stop and smell the flowers and appreciate the beauty of both flowers and your life.
