Inspiration
For the garden of your daily living:
Plant three rows of peas: peace of mind, peace of heart, peace of soul.
Plant four rows of squash: squash gossip, squash indifference, squash grumbling, and squash selfishness.
Plant four rows of lettuce: lettuce be faithful, lettuce be kind, lettuce be patient, lettuce love one another.
No garden is without turnips: turnip for meetings, turnip for service, turnip to help one another.
To conclude the garden, we must have thyme: thyme for each other, thyme for family, thyme for friends.
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because; you reap what you sow.
What’s Happening Around Our Community
On Earth Day, 2009, Pastors and Laity representing six Cass County churches gathered at Marvin and Ramona Ohlerking's farm to plant 1/2 mile of potatoes for those in need.
Churches represented were: United Methodist Churches of, Elmwood, Murdock and Louisville as well as The Christian Disciples of Christ Churches from Louisville, Elmwood and Weeping Water.
The Potato Project was a vision of the Cass County Clergy Association, concerned about the economic hard times. The Association prays this will become bigger, with more congregations and ministers getting on board next year to add more vegetables.
The potatoes will be gathered and distributed in the Fall along with simple potato recipes. For more information about the Cass County Clergy Association or the Potato Project please contact any of the above mentioned churches.
Auditions at Lofte Theatre
The Lofte Community Theatre near Manley will be holding auditions for its summer musical, "Crazy For You" on Sunday, May 10th and Monday, May 11th at 7:00PM. The production will run weekends between July 17 and August 2.
First premiering in 1992, "Crazy For You" is considered to be "the new Gershwin musical." The script is loosely based off of the 1930 show, "Girl Crazy" and the score is made up of Gershwin tunes from the era including, "I Got Rhythm," and "Someone to Watch Over Me."
Those interested in auditioning should bring a prepared piece of music and expect cold readings from the script. Specifics on vocal ranges and available parts can be found on the theater's website, www.Lofte.com. Questions regarding the show or the audition process may be sent to Artistic Director Kevin Colbert at LofteDirector@Lofte.com
If you would like to advertise with the Nebraska Community Websites, please contact me. The advertising space is very reasonable, it reaches thousands of people, and it helps to maintain the Murdock Newsletter.
I encourage all of you to make use of the Free Classified Ads.
This is a classic example of "the more it gets used, the more useful it becomes"
It is fun to browse and notice your neighbor, selling what they bought last year at your garage sale.
It is also, a benefit that allows folks to turn unused items to cash - all the ads have been made "Google - able" so you get great visibility for your old weed whacker.
Newsletter subscriptions are Free, and that is a great deal at twice the price!
Prairie Rim Plants
I drove by Prairie Rim Plants last week. It looks like Sharon is getting prepared! Sharon Kunz and her helpers have been operating the Prairie Rim Plants since 1982. She started with plants and flowers and in the last 10 years she has operated on a larger scale. You can find almost every plant you want for your yard and garden. Sharon buys her flowers from various nurseries around Nebraska and Missouri. If you can’t find what you want she can probably order it for you! Just ask her! For more information call Sharon at 402-994-4895.
