Article #1212 – How cold is it?
Sunday, February 8, 3036
I am extremely cold-natured. All my friends and family know that about me. I always have a sweater or jacket when dining out – no matter what time of year it is. When I began to hear about the upcoming record-breaking low temps we just experienced, I became cold just thinking about it. The first morning I woke up to single digits was terrible. I hated to open the door to let my cats in and out. They didn’t stay out there for very long!

OUTDOOR TRUTHS
There’s no doubt what we do makes an impression on our young people and those who look up to us. Just as I remember buying my first new gun, I also remember my first new knife. Not only was I enamored by the knife itself, but I was also very interested in the paperwork that came with it. While most would only throw away the unnecessary stuff, I made it a point to find out about my new Buck knife. It talked about how to take care of it and how to sharpen it. But what caught my attention was the message from Al Buck. Here is how it read.

Give an orchid this
Valentine’s Day
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
While roses may be the traditional choice when Valentine’s Day rolls around, I’ve found that orchids offer something even more meaningful -- a living reminder of love that returns year after year.
I’ve been gifted several orchids over the years, and they bring me joy every time they bloom.
Phalaenopsis orchids, often called moth orchids, are the most popular Valentine’s Day choice.
