Jim Ely

The rains have come and now the flowers are blooming. What a beautiful sight. I just had the pleasure of participating at Career Day at the High School. I had lots of interesting conversations with the students. Amanda will be attending an event in May at the Locust St Elementary School to help the Local Garden club with the students planting flowers to attract Butterfly's. Have a great Spring.
