Natchez is a treasure and I was delighted to spend a long weekend in that historic town on Memorial Day.
Jesus said a prophet is not appreciated in his hometown. Likewise, many Mississippians don't appreciate what a historic treasure Natchez is.
Back in the years before the Civil War, Natchez was, by far, the richest city in the United States with the most millionaires per capita. It was the historic equivalent of what Silicon Valley is today.

Diane Dukes says she is trying to get her swimming pool open for the summer. Maybe next week. She said just getting everything out and putting it where it goes is a job by itself. Heather Henderson, who owns Blooming Farms, made Diane a beautiful flower arrangement to go out by the pool area.
Henry and Shea Hood moved Lee Jackson to Mississippi State for the next two years.
Tim and Emily Little and daughter Scottie spent some time in Destin, Florida. They enjoyed it, especially Scottie!

Well, it’s a rainy, wet and sodden day here on Circle S Farms. We begged and prayed for rain so long for the past few months and now it seems as if God has opened the heavens and we are drenched.
We were concerned about our big black cows as the grass was not growing enough to make the hay and fodder for all the big bovines to munch on. And there are so many babies being born this spring, the grasslands are so needed.

We hated to cancel our Memorial Day Tribute Walk honoring those who died in service, but we will incorporate a tribute into our July 4 celebration. In the meantime, the Oakland Area Lions Club has a virtual tribute on their Facebook page. Let’s hope weather cooperates a bit better for July!
As a part of our America250 Mississippi and Mississippi Humanities Council grant, we have been able to order American flags that will fly along Hickory Street. It’s going to be so pretty and I can’t wait to see them in place.
