Hello from Baldwin,
How is everyone’s week going? I hope that everyone is having a great one. Well, it’s been pretty hot this week. As I sit and write my article this Wednesday morning, it is giving rain and storms for today and the next few days. Maybe it will cool things off. I just hope the storms are not severe.
Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Gary Wayne Sanders and Abigail Schwab, Sunday; Jackson Wininger, Monday; Hannah Susie Perkins, Jo-Lynn Dargavell, and Amanda Burns, Tuesday; Ronnie Howe, Wednesday; Amy Burrus, Lori Winter and a very special young lady celebrating her sixth birthday, Miss Emma Ruth Farthing, Thursday; Brayden Ross Riddell, Friday; and William Earl Foster, Saturday. I hope that you all have very happy birthdays and many more happy ones to come.
Happy anniversary wishes go out next week to my dear friends, Alonzo and Ellen Harvey, Sunday; Happy 51st anniversary to you. Happy anniversary also to Homer and Margaret Curry, Tuesday; and my dear friends, Johnny and Betty Collins will be celebrating their 33rd anniversary, Friday. I hope that you all have very happy anniversaries and many more happy ones to come.
I’ve been seeing a lot of farm work going on this week here in Baldwin. There is a lot of gardening going on in the neighborhood. I’ve seen some beautiful gardens.
Speaking of gardens, the Madison County Farmers Market is getting off to a slow start this year, the many early rains that we had put everything behind in planting, which makes everything late in harvesting. You must remember that the Madison County Farmers Market is 100 percent locally grown; nothing is bought and brought in. Some farmers are going and setting up on Saturdays now. My sisters, Isbell and Smith Farm Fresh Produce will be there this Saturday with some fresh vegetables. Stop by and see what the farmers have this Saturday, we hope to see you there.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Let me know if you hear any news. Just give me a call at 623-4579 or
e-mail pljones61@netzero.com.

Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?
Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

Common-sense job hunting
I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new job.
He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.
Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job. -
It’s a love thing
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

Managing the calving season
Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed. -
Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore
A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
“Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible! -

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
Hi!
... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
(I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol) - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
