Gordonsburg / Little Swan News

Has been very windy days for the last couple of weeks and sometimes it is really cold or should I say cool. We had some rain a couple of days, and this has hindered some from doing garden work and maybe save their efforts for we have also had some frost with temperatures in the upper twenties. The dogwoods and red buds are blooming so maybe it won’t be long till we do not have these cool and cold nights.

Easter will be this coming Sunday, and many will be off work and children will begin the spring break for this area and there will be egg hunts and family gatherings in lots of places. If you are going to be traveling, we wish you safe travels and hope you enjoy the time together.

The local girl scouts enjoyed a trip to the recycling center mainly to take their empty cookie boxes but also to learn more about other things that the center does, they now have glass recycling along with other things. It was a very interesting trip and troop leader, Ella Meintzer prepared snack bags for everyone. This was a very great treat for everyone, thanks to her.

Wishing you and yours a very happy and safe Easter weekend with the extra day off making it a special weekend for many. Prayers for a healthy time and that you may be able to spend it with family and friends.
