Dr. Cathy Abell spoke on leadership at the May Caregivers meeting at the Columbia extension office and dedicated it to her father Gene Hoots who was a leader in many areas during his lifetime. She shared the qualities of a leader and spoke about the very special qualities of the servant leaders who provide care for others. Comments | Permalink Two Pawpaw blossoms from same tree

The blossoms of Pawpaw trees are pretty, both green and brown. Each year I cheer when I see these trees bloom and grow, however, not one time in a decade have fruits followed. Either there are animals harvesting early, or the trees may need Pawpaw fertilizer. Maybe someone at the Farmers Market will be selling them this season. I hope so! - LW Comments | Permalink Mama Cat hiding among the Poke plants

Mama Cat was hunting discretely as she hid among the volunteer Poke plants growing rapidly out back. For those who like greens, the young plant Poke leaves make a good spring choice. No matter whether it's needed or not, I still boil mine and pour off the water, add new water and reboil - twice. The roots, stems and berries of the plant are said to be poisonous.
