The three trees that grace Turnberry Street are wonderful to gaze at, but last week I had Ella Graber out for a drive. The tulip tree we saw in north Whitechurch was truly awesome. It was the large size, both width and breadth, with a coverage of blossoms that made you gape in wonder and appreciation. Don't you just love spring?

Enjoy the growth of spring and be grateful for the farmers in our midst for their long days and hard work. One of our many blessings is that we have access to healthy and plentiful food and we need to be very aware of the fragility of our situation. Bye now, Betty G.W FROM BRUSSELS
