I saw in the news that the farmers are concerned because the time change is confusing to the cows. It's confusing to people too, especially children. It is nice to have these long hours of daylight, but try putting children to bed when the sun is still shining. Wouldn't it be nice to keep daylight saving time all year long then no one would be confused. I still can't figure out how cell phones can change the time without our input. ..The Tignall community was saddened to hear of the death of Mae Butler. She was a very talented lady and enjoyed sharing her talent. She judged at chrysanthemum shows and was excellent in china painting and in cooking. She had been active up until her stroke last year. Independence United Methodist Church had a luncheon for the family Friday after the funeral. ..Let's keep Major Christopher Lane, son-in-law of Danny and Tammy Price, in our prayers. He has just recently been stationed in Baghdad. .. Spending the weekend with Graydon and Pat Bobo were Mike and Miriam Bobo of McDonough. On Saturday afternoon Pat and Miriam went to the Marriott Riverfront Hotel in Augusta where the Augusta Symphony Guild presented Paula Dee's Cuisine. Pat said there was a packed house, but everyone got goody bags. ..We don't have to travel 40 miles or even 10 miles to get a good lunch in Tignall. We are fortunate to have two good places to get a good lunch - the Kum Bak Cafe and now Birdies' Soul Food. We don't have to cook any day of the week. Birdies was once Bozo's and is open Wednesday through Sunday. The fried chicken there is like my grandmother cooked it and I've never tasted better oldfashioned sweet potato pie. Of course, it's a sure way to put on weight. .. Spending the day Sunday with Vivian and Louie Wolozin were Kathy and Dale Robertson of Dacula. ..Donald and Peggy Ware and Stacey visited with Karen and Price Rogers in Evans last Friday. Then they went out to see Price play baseball at Greenbriar. ..Visiting for the weekend with Celeste and O'Neil Adams were their children and eight dogs. From Monroe were Billy and Amanda Range and Abby with their three dogs; and Kimberly, Chase and Connor Coots of Ranger, and five dogs. Kimberly brought the five dogs down to find homes for them. Let's hope they found good homes for these dogs. .. The Tignall Baptist Church children's annual Easter egg hunt is coming up soon, so plastic eggs stuffed with candy or toys are needed. It takes a lot of eggs for this event. ..Mallorysville Baptist Church is preparing for the Easter musical called "God's Holy Lamb." ..Let's keep Gary and Kim Rogers in our prayers. Gary has some major health problems. ..We are glad to hear that Carolyn (Heard) Snider is at home now in Martinez and is improving. ..Visiting with Myrline Thornton from Tuesday through Sunday of last week was Ida Mae Jacobs of Macon. She is Myrline's daughter Mary's mother-in-law. Isn't it nice to find mothers-in-law who get along so well and enjoy visiting each other? They even had eye doctor appointments together. ..Hugh Keener and friend, Fred Hall of Elberton, visited Wesley Garrett in Amelia Island over the weekend. They attended the annual automobile show there. Also, they saw the USS John Kennedy which has been decommissioned and was docked there temporarily. ..Nobie Keener had two friends, Ann McCoy of Conyers and Rosemary Tinley of Waynesboro (formerly of Conyers), visiting with her over the weekend. They loved all the beautiful old homes in Washington and the Danburg area; however, they were not impressed that their cell phones did not always work and the fact that in Tignall you are unable to get an Atlanta paper. ..It is very special when homemade bread is delivered to your door and weekend guests have just arrived. Just another good reason to live in Wilkes County. Thank you, Carolyn. ..". . . And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils." - William Wordsworth.
According to Greek mythology, a handsome young man named Narcissus was so entranced with his own good looks that he spent his days gazing at his reflection in the water. So absorbed was he that he wasted away and upon his death became a flower, one botanically named the Narcissus but commonly known as the daffodil.
"Daffodils that come before the swallow dares, and take the winds of March with beauty." - William Shakespeare.
