Fabric and Rummage Sale

Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday, Carson City! The world's largest, most watched and expensive sporting event takes place today, which is fortuitous given the stormy weather outside.

Even Carson Cassie, Carson City's endearing retention pond monster, may spend the day inside watching the game and getting ideas for her next sneak play at the pond. Pass the hot wings please!

Happy Groundhog Day, Carson City! While the prognosticating Punxsutawney Phil looks for his shadow in western Pennsylvania, our region is bracing for more Winter weather due to arrive this weekend.

Phil might speak for his neck of the woods, where he bats about .390, but I would keep an eye on our critters here to determine how much more Winter we have left.

Little to no rain in January doesn’t bode well for trees and shrubs this spring and summer. Unless you provide them with the water lacking from Mother Nature, you probably will see plants dying back on top or losing limbs and branches. This is particularly true for plants such as birches and roses or for those newly planted this past year.
