Whatley Words of Wisdom:

Have any of you noticed the Jonquils, the beautiful yellow flowers, growing? These flowers symbolize forgiveness and a desire for affection to be reciprocated. They also symbolize creativity, success, rebirth, and renewal. Jonquils also let me know the crappie are about to spawn!!!!!! So, let's try to be like Jonquils and start over. Try to be positive and have fun. It sure is fun out in the sun catching crappie in the Spring!!!
