The governor did add that there is still time in the session to get those things done, saying that nothing is dead in the Capitol until it is “dead, dead, dead.”
At the end of a press conference Tuesday, Governor Tate Reeves (R) took questions on teacher pay raises, the state Public Employees Retirement System, and the future of the movement to provide parents in Mississippi with greater education freedom. He did not rule out a special session to address at least two of those matters.

JACKSON — More people die of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Mississippi than anywhere else in the country. Yet, with proper screening and lifestyle changes, it is one of the most preventable cancers.
Throughout March, recognized as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) urges residents to take ownership of their health by getting timely screenings and making lifestyle changes that can drastically reduce their chances of both developing and dying of this disease.

I am astonished at how fast spring has happened here on the Circle S.
It seems just like last week Roy and I were sitting in our keeping room bundled in multi-layers of blankets as our electricity was down and so was our generator. Now we are sitting on our back porch listening to the birds sing and watching the cattle graze on the bright green grass that is growing in the pasturelands.
It somehow sneaks up on me every year, but this time it was spontaneous as it was freezing one day and the next, short-sleeve weather. Instantaneous!

Warm and pleasant greetings. We hope you are enjoying the beginning days of March and at the same time getting adjusted to daylight saving time. The warmer weather was the theme last week.
Some days, no heat was needed and it was nice to raise the window and dust the screen as the breeze circulated. The weekend brought rain and it was a “tad” cooler.
Some residents were out and about while others were quietly working outside. Hope you enjoyed some time outside watching the creatures in motion while basking in the warmth, or maybe enjoying another cup of coffee while reading.
