THE CROW’S

Spring is definitely here!!
How do I know? That’s easy
to answer. Go outside and
just listen for a minute or
two. You will hear the
geese honking loudly on
their migration North and
the wonderful sound of the
robins and other birds
chirping. Besides that, the
yard is covered with snow
mold, the tulips are peeking
through the soil and there
is that INCESSANT Spring
wind blowing. I promise not
to complain one bit as it is
again wonderful to see,
smell and hear the sounds of
the season of re-birth.
We have had unusually mild
temperatures the last 10
days or so. It has reached
the upper 60’s for a few
days. Weather like that
puts everyone in a very
“summer mode”! Our local TV
weathermen have said we can
expect daytime highs to
return to normal ranges in
the next few days. It is
easy for me to get over
anxious and think I should
be out planting my garden
RIGHT NOW. I have planted
radishes and lettuce. In my
defense, the seed packets
say to plant as soon as the
soil can be worked.
Spring not only rejuvenates
the landscape it also
rejuvenates the citizens. I
have been walking every
morning---and sometimes
afternoons. My goodness, it
seems half of Edinburg is
out doing the same thing! I
guess we are all sick of
being inside during the long
winter months. Many of the
local citizens have been
busy mowing their lawns for
the first time along with
cleaning out their gardens.
Hall’s potato houses are
getting new shingles. It is
fun to see all this activity
in town. Rodney Nygard said
he was out in one of his
fields with the harrow this
past week. He got a big
grin on his face when he
talked about it. Everyone
loves Spring!
Rose Denault just returned
from “another” trip to
Germany (I get so jealous)!
She had a wonderful time. I
truly think her friends need
to start “worrying” about
her. Rosie decided to wash
clothes after she got home,
so she turned the machine
on, added detergent and let
the machine fill and run.
Guess what!!! She forgot to
put clothes in!!! Could
this be a sign that Rose is
turning 50 next month????
Sorry Rosie for exposing
you!
Marianne Eisenmann is in
Rochester and will have
surgery tomorrow morning on
her hip. Bert says Marianne
is a real trouper and has
passed all the pre-surgery
tests with flying colors. I
will be thinking about her
as I know she has had so
much discomfort the past
while.
I am happy to report Lynette
Langerud is “up and running”
again after knee surgery.
She said yesterday in the
Superette that she was so
glad to get out again.
We had a very meaningful
Good Friday Service and a
joyous celebration this
morning for Easter at
Trinity. Sara Sorbo, Marlie
Johansen and Chance Sveen
sang "Worthy Is The Lamb".
Their 3-part harmony sent
chills up my spine.
What beautiful music!
The church was full as many
family members from many
places came “home” for the
holiday. It is always a
delight to see everyone.
Have a great day!
