Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

March 2022 Back to Basics Newsletter

This month we will “March” right in to spring! It may come and go like a lion or lamb, but in between, the days seem to have a hard time deciding if it is winter, spring, or summer.  True to spring it is a time of renewal. New gardens can be planted, new blossoms pop, and yards look new again. It is a great time to renew our preparedness efforts. We can plan and plant for this year’s canning and eating fresh from the garden. We can inventory our food storage and renew our monthly plan to restock. YOU are the one who can best take care of your family, so plan accordingly. We see unrest across the face of this tired old earth, and we have been warned to Be Prepared. The “forecast” for last day’s storms has been made. It is up to us to heed the warning and set aside for the rainy days upon us. Let us “March” right into the Peace of Preparedness.
