Gusty
winds and dense smoke made it all the more difficult for
firefighters on Sunday morning as they battled this blaze in the 700
block of Madison Street. The photo on the left was taken between
11:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. and showed the intensity of the fire.
Within the hour, the fire had been knocked down. The photo on the
right taken at approximately 12:20 p.m. shows firefighters working
on hot spots. Fire units from the city of Lincoln, Atlanta and Mount
Pulaski were called in to drench the blaze. While LDN could not get
close enough to see all the details, it appeared that the
departments were able to prevent the spread of fire to surrounding
homes in the neighborhood.

to do while staying at home:

Sunday is Mother's Day and it can still be
a very special day for mom in spite of the stay at home orders.
Instead of taking her out to lunch guys, get in the kitchen with the
kiddos and make her a special brunch/breakfast. Here are easy,
kid friendly recipes to choose from.
-
AND REMEMBER if you are not sheltering
with your mother, give her a call!
-
We know this has gone on for WEEKS now.
Our little ones especially may have become restless and need a
little help to stay at their best. Try creating a Reward Chart
for each one. Customize it with chores they can do, homework
goals, and acts of kindness they show to one another. Then,
give them a reward to work toward with their good behavior and
helping around the house.

Like it or not, Stay at Home orders are
still in place through the month of May. Looking on the bright side
- you and your children are living through a very historical event
in our lives. Today, create a journal/scrapbook for each of you.
Write down your story of COVID-19 add pictures and art. It will be
something you can share with others for years to come.
It's going to be rainy this week, so
head to the kitchen with the kiddos and have some fun!
Garden Centers may open May 1st.
Use this website to guide you and your child through the entire
growing season with fun, easy activities, making chores into games
and much much more! Includes preparation activities you can do
with your child now, before you go to the garden center.
