May 28

Rosenfeld News by Tina Wolfe
            This past week has been crazy busy around here. Even though the garden was too wet to till I’ve been making rows and digging holes. Our green house is almost empty and a horrible mess but that can be taken care of later when the planting is done. The garden seeds are in except for one more row of corn which is the sweetest variety available. I always try one new variety of flowers and this year I have an aromatic variety of tobacco. It blooms in various colours which are open all day and grows to a height of three feet.
            On top of getting plants and seeds out, I’ve been busy getting ready for the upcoming garage sale. We are sharing our garage with two other families and can barely fit our small car in one of the spaces.
            I’ve been called long winded and so to disprove that point, I’ll keep the column short this week.

Birthday wishes
            A big happy birthday goes out to my brother, Henry Friesen of Morris. He is celebrating 70 years young on May 29. May he be blessed with many more and we will be celebrating at the Friesen picnic which takes place on August 24.
Community announcements
            The annual spring cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, June 1. Pickup begins at 10:00 am so please have your stuff at the end of the driveway for the Friesen’s to begin. Remember please no hazardous material.
            The Rosenfeld community is also planning their first ever village wide garage sale for Thursday, June 6. It will run from noon – 8:00 pm. If you don’t have enough for your own sale, call me and I’ll try to match you up with someone who will share garage space. At this point I have a dozen interested residents with a number of multi-families and if this is a success we would like to make this an annual event.
School news
            The Rosenfeld staff and students have been hard at practice for their upcoming Spring Concert. This will take place on Friday, June 7 at 2:30 pm in the school gym. Everyone is welcome to attend and celebrate the end to a long winter and cool spring.
            The Altona and area Family Resource Center will be hosting another Learning Fair on Friday, May 31.  It will take place in the school gym from 9:00 am – noon.
