January - A month like this makes the heart long for ...Plant Catalogues! Pages full of optimism and the beauty of green, growing things. It’s the perfect antidote to -12 degree days and snow.
For some, travel brochures to southern climes are probably the preferred dream book, but days in the Caribbean sun are fleeting.
We braved the weather Saturday and went to the Midwest Growers Conference in St. Joseph. Think it’s cold here, stand out in the open on the hill top that is Missouri Western State University!
Inside it was warm and speakers updated farmers on all sorts of farming methods and new plant varieties. 
Back in Weston, it looks like work on Hwy. 45 will be delayed again and again. I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest it won’t happen until next week, if then. 
The detour through Weston is going to be harried enough without adding snow to the mix.
The Board of Alderman meeting set for January 8 was called off because of weather. It could be rescheduled to this Friday evening. Could be a good sign that there’s not much pressing. 
School was out January 9, the again on Tuesday. Make up days not needed - the time is built in to the schedule.
The “If These Walls Could Talk” program by Black Ancestors Awareness Committee is in the process of being rescheduled. 
In the meantime, if you can, relax and dream of sunny warm days to come!
