Back to rainy season, lots of rain lately and we have a very muddy yard. With cold wet weather comes folks coughing and sneezing a lot. I hope we all use some courtesy and if not feeling well take precautions so that others, who may be immune compromised, are not exposed to unnecessary illnesses.
Recently I have had several folks mention their families suffering from COVID-19, flu and RSV, and these can be very dangerous to our elderly and immune compromised neighbors. What you may feel seems like a little nasal congestion and irritating cough may be much more devastating to one of our neighbors, so please keep that in mind when out and about.
Jenny’s General has been expanding their inventory selections, including Amish Wedding jams, jellies and preserves; pickled garlics; pickled eggs; pickled pig hocks; as well as some new essential oils to naturally freshen up your home. There is consideration to bring in Amish cheeses and butter if there is enough interest since these have a short shelf life in the store, so they must be sold before the best buy date is reached.
It is not too late to get a CSA with Coosa Fancy Organic Farm on Highway 14. They still have CSAs available of 10 weeks of freshly harvested, organically grown seasonal produce! Spring Session: March 23 – May 25 and Summer Session: June 15 – August 17. You can also purchase their spring and summer CSA together for 15% off! (That’s three FREE weeks!)
CSA system offers customers the opportunity to support their local farms and producers via an initial buy-in price, which is then returned through weekly shares of fresh produce. This helps the farm by providing the initial capital needed for operation costs. Call 205-552-4592 or sign up on their website at https://coosa-fancy.com/shop.
Friday, February 16, is Karaoke Night at Coosa Live (formerly known as Equality Performing Arts Center) which is tonight. Come enjoy an evening out enjoying live music. While it is not mandatory, you are encouraged to bring a dish of shareable food for our “Potluck,” and if you can afford to drop something into the donation jar for the music, it helps keep the lights on. Coosa Live provides free coffee, iced tea, water, and fresh-popped popcorn, as well as some of the potluck offerings.
Thursday, February 22, is the next Equality Neighborhood Watch meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please plan on attending an informative and enjoyable social event. You can bring a dish to pass if you like, but not necessary, as there is a community potluck because sharing food always goes well with gatherings.
Saturday, February 24, at 4 p.m. is Bingo at the Equality Volunteer Fire Department Hall on Highway 9. This is a fund-raising event to support the Equality Volunteer Fire Department. It is $1 a card and lots of fun, with concession sales, and all proceeds support the EVFD. Come join the fun.
