The April Olney Market Days was a success as many shoppers were spotted chatting and shopping in downtown Olney off Main Street. “We had a great turnout and a lot of new vendors this round, weather was perfect aside from the a little windy,” OMD creator Katie Carls, who also owns the Rebel Soul Mercantile booth, said.
The Texas Legislature is considering several bills that would abolish clock changes, and set the clock permanently to either Daylight Saving Time (“springing forward”)or Standard Time (“falling back”).
What fun!!! Hopefully those with NOT such a green thumb went home with a greener thumb than they came with. Lucretia Taylor hosted us at her new home while Margie Snyder and her daughter, Teresa, presented a program filled with great information and common errors we all need to know about for house plants, porch plants and even garden plants. I don’t know about you, but I (and many of my friends) are insect magnets. I know for me it’s chiggers and gnats. The gnats are just annoying, but chigger bites itch for at least 2-3 weeks and I have yet to find a good solution. One thing we learned about was a product called ‘mosquito bits’ which is a mosquito and gnat repellant. We also learned about succulents and how to care for them. It’s easy once you find what you’ve been doing wrong. Part of the session was to ask for advice and get answers to problems. Many of us shared the same problems, so we went home a lot smarter than we were when we got there, and we each went home with a Jade plant and a tomato plant.
