07/24/2008 12:00 AM I recently visited with Pastor Schmidt from Faith Lutheran Church regarding their lovely courtyard garden.

A few years ago, they received a generous donation from a member and the congregation decided to use this fund for a garden.

“Tales of Hans Christian Andersen” (age 9-11 students) is an assortment of surprise packages that brings four very special gifts…the gifts of storyteller Hans Christian Andersen to the children of the world. Out of a bright birthday box steps “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” to tell of his undying love for a paper dancing doll. A dilapidated old crate yields the comic tale of “The Swineherd” who spurns a royal princess, and from a basket of eggs comes the well-loved story of “The Ugly Duckling.” The quartet of tales concludes with the touching romance of “The Little Mermaid” who loves a human being…the story discovered in an ancient sea chest.

Rabbits, slugs bigger than life gardening problems Mary Jane Breitling
The rascally rabbits are driving me to distraction. It is bad enough that they regard my gardens as their own private buffet restaurant. On top of that, they love to dart out from shrubbery when I am in the area and give me a scare. They come in all sizes, large momma’s and poppa’s, juniors, and little baby bunnies. The neighborhood has several sheds that provide them with cool basement apartments.
