Dodson News for April 29, 2020

Everything is still very quiet around Dodson as people are obeying the stay home edict.

The weather has been warmer all week and is forecasted warmer for the next week and it is nice to see the lawns turning greener every day. Some gardens are starting to be planted and more flowers are showing through. We trimmed plum trees and there were a lot of buds so there should be blossoms soon.

We see more birds every day and a lot of them are robins, and grackles (who are not quite so welcome).

Get well wishes are still extended to Willard Mortenson for the recovery of his broken hip and also pneumonia he has contracted. They are moving him into an extended care unit to help him heal.

They are still delivering lunches around for the kids from the school and the Center sends them to the people on Wednesdays and now on Tuesdays too.

The Catholics held in house services on Sunday. The Lutherans will start in-house services again on May 10 if plans don't change. There will not be a coffee hour following the services for the time being.

Congratulations and greetings to all having a birthday or anniversary this week. I hope it is a special one.

If you are lucky and reverent, and hush for a moment the voices of doubt in your head, sometimes God will whisper in your ear! Just listen!

Some things are lightening up — enjoy it and have a good week.
