Spring has sprung at the Harrison County Farmers Market and we will begin the new season on Saturday, May 4 at 9 a.m. This year we have been blessed with some new farmers and hobbyists joining the membership and we all hope to bring the community of Harrison County new and exciting produce, flowers, garden plants along with many handmade products for your shopping pleasure.

The Flower
A flower,
Sitting on a wooden table top,
Full of color and joy.

Slowly one by one the petals begin to fall,
Slowly to the wooden table top.
Each a withered husk of its former self.
Each lost its color and joy.
Each to be forever gone.
Each falling until there was only one left.

She stared down at her fallen friends.
There is nothing she can do for them.
Her colors have left her a long time ago.
Now she is nothing but a fragile shell.

Deborah J. Williams, MSN, RN, nursing program coordinator, commented that simulation technology is currently being integrated into most nursing programs across the country.
