BUZZ MAGAZINE - As I write this article, I am watching my garden thaw from last night's freeze. For a short time, the once-live garden is frozen in time while the rays of sun glide across the yard. The plants are slowly turning from bright green and full, to limp and dark. Its a bittersweet scene. This is the close of the summer garden. I hate to see it go, but I am ready to soon embrace a season of rest. The garden, for me, really isn't much work once all of my plants have gotten established. It's really just plucking a few weeds, making sure everyone stays hydrated and untangling some congested vines. The real work for me is handling the harvest. With gross quantities of produce coming in with a very small window of opportunity, you have to work, and you have to work fast. I have spent hours and hours blanching and dicing and cooking and canning. Being able to stand back and take in your full pantry is enough to make a mamma proud. I am ready to be done though!

ST. LOUIS - The American Red Cross urges blood and platelet donors to give now and help fight the potential impact of seasonal illnesses and a potentially severe flu season on the blood supply. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts a serious spread of flu this year and is already reporting an early spike in cases in several states. When seasonal illnesses increase, the number of healthy donors tends to decrease, leaving the Red Cross blood supply vulnerable to a potential shortage over the holidays. Paired with busy holiday schedules, seasonal illnesses may make it harder to collect the blood hospital patients require this winter. Donors − especially those with type O blood and those giving platelets − can help bolster the blood supply now by making an appointment to give in the coming weeks. There is no waiting period to donate blood or platelets after receiving a flu shot. Schedule an appointment by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org
