16 Days until Mother's Day!

Yes I am still alive, just having a very bad couple of days! I hope things get better here very soon or else I am going to have to take a trip home to Michigan to relax!

I hope you all are ready for some rain. It looks like we are in for about two or more inches of rain on Friday.

We are going to have a Neighborhood Yard Sale in the month of May. Any weekend that will not work for you please email Bently Farms or risk the rest of us having the yard sale during that timeframe.

Did you know that on FaceBook there is a group you can join that is here in Lavon. Just search "Lavon".

Make sure to check out our local businesses on the right side of the blog. They have some wonderful ideas.

Money Savings Tip

Start a garden. Gardening is an inexpensive hobby if you have a yard. Just rent a tiller, till up a patch, plant some plants, keep it weeded, and you’ll have a very inexpensive hobby that produces a huge amount of vegetables for you to eat at the end of the season. I like planting a bunch of tomato plants, keeping them cared for, then enjoying a huge flood of tomatoes at the end of the summer. We like to eat them fresh, can them, and make tomato juice, sauce, paste, ketchup, pasta sauce, and pizza sauce. Delicious (and very inexpensive)!
