February 2026 Mid Month Reminders
We made it through winter storm Fern! Phew! That was a lot. 
 
It's times in the darkest, coldest months of winter that I'm reminded of the need for community - for helping hands, laughter, and creativity. As things continue to thaw in the coming weeks and months, let's plant some seeds for summer... both with the Seed Library, and with our neighbors, by spreading love and joy in Saline County.
