MUSINGS FROM MEG: Mother Nature has been playing some fun games with us the past month. Seems that is spring one day, and winter again the

next. Hope everyone is staying warm or cool depending on the day. The Extension Office has been busy prepping for our Spring and Summer events. An update from the office, as many of you know our Ag Agent resigned and left Sauk County awhile ago. In January, Sue Nagelkerk our Family Living Agent retired. So we are down to only two agents in the office, myself and Jenny Erickson (Community Development and Natural Resources). Therefore Haley and Judy are juggling many more responsibilities and tasks than ever before. We all ask that you be patient with your requests and questions. It may take at least a day or two for us to be able to fulfill those requests or answer your questions. Please make sure that you read your Clover Comments very thoroughly, many of the questions that come into the office are answered right here in these pages. Club and Project Leaders I am available to attend your upcoming club meetings. Email me at margaret.sage@ces.uwex.edu to get your next meeting on my schedule. Thanks to Horse Judging and Loganville-Friendship for hosting me most recently.
