The Moriarty FFA (Future Farmers of America for newcomers) Alumni will hold their Annual Pie Auction this Friday, February 26, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Moriarty Lions Club. The evening will include door prizes, a silent auction, light refreshment and drinks, and an auction of delicious homemade pies, all in support for FFA and agriculture education.
The Moriarty FFA is in need of silent auction items. Businesses and individuals willing to donate goods or services, gift certificates, or store merchandise are asked to drop their donations off at Broome’s Feed in Moriarty or call the pie auction coordinators (Yolanda VanDyne, 220-1286; Pam Ball, 286-4656) to coordinate pickup. They need all donations by Friday morning, the day of the auction.
Winter, Not So Winter, Winter, Not So Winter – Mud.
by John Weckerle
Okay, let's see if anybody can guess how this ice formed.
It’s been an interesting few weeks here at New Mexico Central headquarters. We have probably had just about every kind of weather one can think of – a little rain, sleet, snow (including at least twice when there were no clouds within miles), sunshine, and even thunder. We had sunshine today, are predicted to have clouds tomorrow, and who knows what thereafter. There is one thing of which we have plenty, and that is mud. Good ‘ol, sticky mud that dries on hard and gets in everywhere. We are hearing more and more people lamenting the muddy roads, mud on the shoes, mud on the dog, the rugs, the floors, the cars… Lest we forget: the long and short of it is that the ground has not been dry here since December. As much as we may be tired of the mess, this is good news for the pinons and our nectarine tree (assuming we don’t get a frost during flowering, which happens more often than not). It’s good news for wildflowers, too. So dust off those cameras and start warming up, people; Spring’s just around the corner.
