Spring has arrived

| 
The signs of spring can be seen all over Yazoo this time of the year. But the flowers at the Martha Coker Green Houses are truly a sight to see. These beautiful iris plants began as a bulb from Marshall and Lynn Burnett’s former home in Flora. The bulbs were brought to the Luse House when Mrs. Lynn was admitted as a resident. The plants have transformed the red clay yard into lush garden. The bulbs were first thrown over the fence when Julie Hoffman, director, set the flowers up on a rainy Good Friday in 2009. Three years later, residents, staff and visitors have enjoyed the beautiful flower garden.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
