Neighborhood Pine Straw Order

It's almost that time of year again to start thinking about sprucing up our yards, planting stuff and putting out pine straw.

Last year we placed a bulk order of pine straw through Bell's Pine Straw for a rate of $2.85 per bale. I will contact him again about an order to be delivered at the end of the month/first of April. 

Please let Lauren know if you're interested and how many bales you would like. They will deliver to each individual house and place them wherever you'd like. They will even spread them for about $1 per bale. Make checks payable to Bell's Pine Straw.

Don't forget to spring forward/change your clocks on March 9th. And it is always a good idea to change the batteries in your smoke detectors at this time too.
