April Message from the President
Welcome to full spring. I visited Utah this last week and saw tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in all the yards. Then I return home to beautiful iris and poppies and lavender. I hope your yards are all as pretty!
I am looking forward to our May meeting, which is our Tea Party, at Michele Harris' home. We will have a talk on Rose Hips by our own Gerry Mitchell, and we'll share tea and goodies. Please bring your favorite finger sandwiches or cookies to share, and if you would like, a favorite teacup to use.
Gerry will provide plenty of teacups for those who would prefer. Also, it is our annual plant exchange, so pot up any extras from your garden, emphasizing herbs, of course, and be prepared to tell us what your contribution is, where it likes to grow, and anything interesting about it. We love learning from each other.
Further details about the Tea Party meeting will be coming in a couple of weeks. Until then, it's a great time to be planting herbs and finally now, tomatoes and peppers.
