The transformation is amazing , and I ’ m looking forward to seeing its completion .
For my gardening friends , I have a few tips for your winter landscape . I don ’ t know about you , but my garden looked great until I went on vacation . You guessed it- I didn ’ t “ get around ” to putting my pre-emergent down in time to beat the unusually warm spells we had last winter . So this year I will put down my Preen before the soil warms and seeds start to germinate . This will save me slaving over getting those pesky weeds out of my backyard retreat . Some of you may know I raise reindeer on my farm . Thus ,

I am the one who prays for snow in the winter ! A lot of plant damage can occur due to salt applied for snow and ice removal . You may see damage on stems and leaves of plants . Other areas of your landscape may see damage from run off . The most damage I see is along sidewalks where we shovel snow to the side , usually on or very near shrubs and perennials . Salt can cause compaction in your soil , and a build-up can keep your plants from absorbing the nutrients they need to thrive . The easiest fix is to water your plants after the snow and ice melt to flush the soil . Diluting your salt with sand or ashes is also helpful . Be safe to prevent falls , but don ’ t overdo the application .
If we do get a good snowfall , be sure to enjoy the beauty of it . Make a few snowballs , maybe eat some , and remember what your mom told you- watch out for the yellow snow if the dog gets out before you .

I am sure many of you can remember stories from Jan . 1978 . Well , I can ’ t remember much , but I ’ ve heard plenty of stories about the blizzard , kids out of school for a month , people walking across the Ohio River , twenty-foot snow banks . My parents have stories about heading off to Good Samaritan Hospital for me to be born on Jan . 25 , 1978 . My mom told about several extra families being at our house when we came home due to being frozen out of their houses .
This January will be a milestone for me as I turn forty . Some people dread the big 40 , but I ’ m looking forward to it .

Life is about so much more than years . It ’ s about memories of friends and families , lives you touch , and what you do with each year that God blesses you with . I approach each day as another chance to help someone . As we start a new year and your birthday approaches , look at what you can do to make the world a better place and help someone around you who needs a friend , a helping hand , or just a smile .
The Yorkville Ridge Runners 4-H Club recently gathered to help at the Sunman food pantry . Our members , Ron and Brady Hornberger , Don and Andrew Strimple , Justin and Caleb Harper , and Joe , Michelle , Bridget , Lydia , Gwen and Simon Ehrhard , and other organizations boxed up food and gifts for over two hundred families . The families got to have a little better Christmas because of the generosity of so many people and organizations and the hard work of the leaders at the food pantry . It is so easy to miss our everyday blessings until we stop and see what others go through in their daily lives .
Lastly , I want to reach out to my readers and friends that have had a tough year or who are going through a difficult season right now . This time of year can be depressing . It gets dark way too early . It is way too cold . And all of the holidays are over , so it ’ s easy to be lonely or depressed . If you are having a bad day or remembering a lost loved one , close your eyes , remember one of your best times with that person , and ask God to hug them for you . My mom still gets lots of hugs that way , and I am comforted that she is in Heaven . If you get a feeling that you need to check in on someone , do it . I do not believe in coincidence . If you have a friend or neighbor who could use a meal or some help , offer it . After all , the blessing always comes back to you .
