Shady Oaks member Sara Bowers has been spreading love and cheer to residents in assisted living facilities. Most of those folks are isolated from their families right now which is very hard. Sara has been recycling old cards, using the front of the card only and writing a short inspirational message on the back. 270 cards have already been delivered to Ivy Hall and 30 to Hermitage. Sara also shared some beautiful Iris blooms with the staff. She says that the residents have so loved receiving these cards with their evening meal! If you are cleaning house and find old cards, please consider helping with this really worthwhile project. Now more than ever we need to work to stay connected with one another.
Sara also reports that her tulips performed well this season and she is doing a few pepper plants in pots as well as working with her brother on a large vegetable garden on his farm.
