Plantation Garden Club president, Sara Wilson, right, welcomes Cindy Mitchell, meeting guest speaker.
While National Arbor Day is held on the last Friday in April, Mississippi, similar to several other states, observes the holiday at a time best suited to its growing season. Our state adopted the second Friday in February as the day on which Mississippi would annually observe Arbor Day. This year it was observed on Feb. 13, with the following week observed as “Tree Planting Week.”

I have always loved to read and study about the Amish peoples.
If I were not a true Southern Baptist, I believe I would convert to the Old Order Amish religion. I so appreciate their peaceful, calm tranquility in the ways of working and doing for others.
I believe we could all learn from these serene people. The work ethic is so ingrained into them that they rise in the early-morning hours to begin their workdays and end with the dark to stop the laboring.

The outrages keep piling up day after day. On February 6, 2026 at 5:44 in the morning, the Truth Social Account from “Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump” tweeted a 62-second video of former President of the United States Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as hairy, muscular apes, swaying in a jungle to music. I do not know how many overt racists there are in the United States of America. I venture there are not enough to keep either the President or his party in power.

The month of February is almost over and the March winds will begin.
I hope all of you ladies received lots of chocolates and you men received a nice bouquet of flowers.
Love and sympathy to the Janie Deck Macke family of Glenn Allen, Missouri. Jane was a first cousin to my husband, David.
Love and sympathy to the Kenny Carvan family of Enid. Kenny passed away Feb. 13. He had an awesome sense of humor and back when he was younger, he was full of fun. I haven’t seen Kenny in many years, but I’ll always remember his sweet smile and personality.
