It took a bit of nudging, but we did it! It might have been a baby step rather than a leap, but December 8th marked the first Zoom meeting for Mill Creek Garden Club. Oh my, I cannot tell you how great it was seeing all those smiling faces. We laughed about makeup or lack thereof, casual or formal attire, and long or short hair.

Talk about happy! Our dogs of the week Bella and Betty Boop may be the jolliest pups you will ever meet. The smiles, tail wags and play bows never stop.

Bella and Betty Boop are a bonded pair of lab mixes around five years old and still full of that puppy pep.

If you are looking for a gift that will keep on giving year after year, then why not consider a winter blooming plant?

Each year at the same time, they will come into bloom and decorate your garden at a time when the days are dark and long and the hope for another bright spring is still far off in the future.

The holidays have been called everything from the most wonderful time of the year to the silly season – and it’s all true!

But remember what the holiday season is about…from giving thanks on the front end; to sharing, giving and, celebrating together in the middle; to looking back on the year that was and celebrating the arrival of the new year!
