...and, we sometimes feel like a prisoner to our current situation

By Christine Schroeder, MOT, OTR/L

“Life’s all about balance.”

We all know this to be true. The hard part is achieving it, right?

Whether that’s our physical balance (how steady are we on our feet?) or our “life” balance (how well are we doing at managing our time?), we sometimes feel like a prisoner to our current situation.

Let’s be honest, the physical balance piece may be the “easier” one to work on. We need balance for so many of the things we do every day (getting dressed, getting in and out of the car, etc.).

Many projects on Bluffton tree commission agenda this spring

Bluffton’s tree commission will be busy this spring as its on-going efforts reap recognition for the village.

Minutes from its March 22 reveal several activities underway in April.

Perhaps the most significant is that Bluffton will celebrate its quarter-century as a Tree City USA in April.

The Tree City presentations are April 18 in Upper Sandusky. The village will receive the Growth Award during the event. Joanne Antibus of the commission will give a presentation during the ceremony on the Bluffton Girl Scout’s tree labeling project in the village arboretum.

Turkey Vultures, or buzzards, since the early 2000, are a common spring and summer bird here. With wingspans of up to 6 feet, in early March they return to Bluffton, from wherever they wintered. Photos in this collection are taken in the woods along Campus Drive, where the congress gathers on most morning.
