From the garden
Winter blooms bring
breath of spring
By Cheryl Doyle Kearns |
Mmmmm!
I opened the door to the patio and caught a
whiff of breath-of-spring. The warm winter days
seem to carry lingering fragrances so clearly.
Delicious fruity and sweet scents of flowering
shrubs waft through the garden even in February.
Realizing that a few years ago, I did a bit of
nasal research and added some fragrant
winter-flowering plants to my garden.

Financial column
Put your tax refund to work
By Louis Mullinger, Edward Jones |
|
Now that we are in the midst
of tax season, you may be anticipating a tax
refund, if you have not already received
one. Of course, not everyone receives a
refund, but, among those who do, the amount
can be sizable. In fact, in 2005, the
average tax refund was about $2,125. If you
are going to get a refund, start planning
now on how to use it. By making the right
moves, you can help speed up your progress
toward your financial goals.
