The Month of June!

School is out.  Gardens are planted.  The weather is nice; not hot and muggy as July and August will be (well maybe…. after all we are in the Ohio Valley).  Vacations are happening.  Flowers are planted and are in abundance on people’s porches and in their yards.  Lawns are being mowed (ahhh…. who doesn’t love...

The Month of May

I made a quick stop this week at the Marshall County Co-op, and I noticed that there was just something special in the air that felt so good…… The day was sunny and bright and a little warm.  Gone were the cloudy grey skies, replaced by a gorgeous yellow sun.  Employees of the Co-op were...

April Showers

Happy October and Happy Fall

How excited are you about it being October?  The thrill of no more hot, humid days and the thought of cool, crisp days and nights are enough to make anyone happy!  I enjoy driving and looking at how the summer porch and yard decorations are slowly coming down, being replaced by fall colors and decorations. ...

Propane News at Marshall County Co-Op

SO much is going on with the Marshall County Co-op.  The big news is, of course, Propane related.  After all, Propane is the Co-op’s main lifeline! They just opened up a satellite propane plant in New Martinsville!  One of the reasons a propane plant was put there is because of the growth opportunity in that...
