GRAFFITI 

FROM BOARD MEMBERS OF WCID #145 

Graffiti is a problem in our neighborhoods. Just in the first 3 1/2 months 

of 2020, over $5,500 has been spent removing and/or applying a surface 

that makes removal easier. It has appeared under bridges, on retainer 

walls and on the trails themselves. Some are symbols, some are offensive. 

According, to state law regarding vandalism and intentionally painting 

on property: 

Class “C” - misdemeanor if the pecuniary loss is less than $100. 

Class “B” - $100 or more but less than $750. 

Class “A” - $750 or more but less that $2,500. 

Anything above this amount is considered a felony. The graffiti removed 

from the trails in early April fell into the Class “A” category. The police are 

notified and/or a police report is filed with each incident. 

Please remind everyone, if caught, there will be ramifications and fines. 

Your tax dollars could be put to better use than rectifying the willful acts of 

a few individuals. The trails throughout Copperfield are for the enjoyment 

of all. Everyone should be able to utilize them without encountering 

offensive material. Each year the traffic on the trails increases. We would 

like it to be a pleasant experience. Thank you. 

“See Something - Say Something” 

(CCA) EGRETS AND NIGHT HERONS 

Egrets and Night Herons have created nesting sites in Copperfield for 

the last 5 years shutting down pools, mailboxes & creating havoc in 

our neighborhood. The Egrets and Night Herons WILL be returning 

now!! Prevention is Crucial - Egrets, herons and other migratory birds 

are protected by Federal International Treaty, it’s illegal for residents to 

harass or harm the birds once they lay eggs. Residents will need to band 

together and drive them out of our neighborhood for the next several 

years. Preventing the birds from building nests on residential property or 

in our parks is key. 

1. Trim your tree and remove dead wood, these birds favor oak trees and 

other hardwoods. But will nest in other mature trees as well. Trim your 

tree canopy to allow sunlight between limbs and other nearby trees. 

Experts say this is the MOST effective step. 

2. Remove any old inactive nest in your trees. Egret Prevention Tools! This 

is the only opportunity homeowners have to scare the birds away and to 

disrupt the cycle. Any home with mature trees is a potential nesting site. 

• Visual deterrents - Hang aluminum pie plates, Mylar balloons, beach 

balls with shiny streamers or other moving objects in large trees. 

• Noisemakers - Pump-style air horns, whistles, clappers and even 

children’s toys are effective. Make as much noise as possible aimed at the 

bird. 

• Bright lights - High-intensity flashlights, strobe lights, flashing holiday 

lights can be effective. 

• Water sprayers - Power sprayers and pump-style toy water shooters can 

help. Homemade PVC pipe sprayers can help reach tall tree limbs. 

• Pool poles - Telescoping pool safety poles can be used to reach and 

remove early nesting material. 

• Any Non-lethal devices. 

• Check trees daily and remove the start of any nest quickly. Once birds 

begin sitting on the nest, eggs are probably present and birds cannot 

be harassed. If you have not yet taken action to prevent nesting on your 

property, please do so now! 

EMERGENCY VEHICLES 

AND FIRE TRUCK CLEARANCE 

The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is still requesting homeowners 

assist in addressing the low hanging trees within the Copperfield 

Community. Low hanging limbs and branches are causing damage to 

the fire departments equipment and damage to the homeowners’ trees,

equipment is 13 feet tall and therefore need a 14 foot clearance from

recourse but to park and walk to the locations.

VILLAGES OF COPPERFIELD NEWS 

COPPERFIELD PLACE VILLAGE 

(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD 

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years with family 

and friends! We hope that the new year will bring us peace, unity and 

hope for our nation and we overcome the pandemic of Covid. Many of 

us have lost family and friends to this dreadful disease. We wish everyone 

peace, comfort, good health and joy. 

ANNUAL MEETING!!!! 

We attempted to have our Annual Meeting which was scheduled 

Wednesday December 9 th . We sent out information and proxies in 

the event that you couldn’t attend the virtual meeting. We were not 

able to conduct the Annual meeting because we did not have enough 

homeowners or proxies to establish our quorum according to our By- 

Laws. We had to close the meeting and reopen a regular bi-monthly 

meeting instead. No open election of officers or yearly financials could 

be discussed or made. This is why it is so important to send in proxies or 

attend in order to conduct our Annual Meeting. 

NOTE: THERE WILL BE A SCS LETTER AND A FORTHCOMING 

ANNOUNCEMENT WHICH WILL NEED YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND 

WILL REQUIRE A SIGNATURE FROM THE HOMEOWNER REGARDING SOME 

LEGAL CHANGES TO OUR ASSOCIATION AND VILLAGE!!!! 

CHRISTMAS DECORATING CONTEST 

Please note that Christmas decorating contest selection will be 

announced in our next newsletter issue. There will be a 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd 

place winner announced. 

OTHER ISSUES AND NEWS 

ASSESSMENTS: 

As you know, our yearly assessments were due by January 1 st and 

delinquent after February 1 st . SCS mailed out your statement in November. 

If you did not receive it, you can obtain it from the portal website and 

pay it on line. Again, contact SCS if you have any questions regarding 

this matter. We know Covid 19 has burdened many of our homeowners; 

however, assessments must be paid or arrangements for payment made. 

The Board has again voted to not raise our assessments for the new 

coming year. We have not had an increase since 2017. Keep in mind that 

all services keep going up every year, but we have had a great collection 

percentage from our homeowners that we have sustained our yearly 

budget. 

POOL AND PARKS: 

Due to the continuing concern and safety of the matter at hand with the 

COVID 19, the Board has decided that the PARK and PLAYGROUND will 

remain CLOSED until further notice! You can still walk on the sidewalks 

and the esplanades. We will continue supplying doggie bags for you to 

walk your pets. Again we must remind everyone that cameras will pick up 

any illegal activity at all times in the pool/park area. 

SCS’S NEW COMMUNICATION: 

SCSGo is now officially discontinued. Now we have the new portal that 

contains all our information, news, account status, financial history, 

violations (with pictures), events and much more. 

You can submit electronic payments, Architectural Requests and view

Letters were sent out from Crest to homeowners the first week of 

December with the above introductory information. The Middlegate 

Board announced the new management company in December’s issue 

of the Copperfield newsletter. 

(MG) HOA BOARD MEETING 

The next HOA Board meeting is scheduled for January 13, 2021. The 

announcement will go out to all homeowners registered on the Crest 

website. Details of time and place, either in person or virtual, will be 

included in email. 

MIDDLEGATE COMMITTEES ARE YOUR BOOTS ON THE GROUND: 

Committees are advisory in their function and allow HOA directors to 

complete tasks more efficiently. Committees provide the additional 

da-ta necessary for decision making by the homeowner association. 

Committee efforts benefit the need of the entire homeowner association. 

In their advisory capacity, committees present their findings in the form 

of a report to the directors of the HOA who have the final responsibility 

for decisions. The benefit of committees to the homeowner association 

is that volunteers from the community bring life lessons, professional 

experience, education and common sense approaches to their duties. 

The Park and Pool Committee is active year round. The committee 

members study pool and park maintenance needs, gather competitive 

bids from contractors and present reports to HOA directors at the 

Board meetings. The Neighbor Events Committee works closely with 

the Board directors to assure approval and support for special events. 

The committee members work behind the scenes to schedule the 

elements. On the day of each event, the committee members and the 

Board directors are present to coordinate the many working parts. Like 

the Board members, committee members are volunteers. Unlike Board 

members, committee members are not voted into place by homeowners. 

If you have life lessons, professional experience, education and common 

sense to share; come to an HOA meeting or contact Crest Management 

to jump on Board a committee. 

(MG) MIDDLEGATE AND CCA 

Middlegate homeowners belong to the Middlegate Village Community 

Association. The Association assumes responsibilities for such services as 

street lighting, mosquito control, common area maintenance (Middlegate 

parks and cul-de-sacs), pool upkeep and deed restriction enforcement. 

The Copperfield Community Association provides services common to 

each of the villages of Copperfield. Among these are the law enforcement 

patrol contract, garbage collection contract and upkeep of the CCA park 

and center on Willow River.

purpose of providing the revenue to cover operating costs of the 

Middlegate Village Community Association and Middlegate’s portion of 

CCA’s operating costs. 

(MG) SEWER REPAIRS AND MUD BILL 

Did you know that your MUD bill payment funds inspection and repair of 

wastewater sewers that run underground Middlegate? 

Middlegate is served by two Municipal Utility Districts, MUD 162 

and MUD 163. Your home is served by one or the other. Each District 

maintains water and sewer needs via coordination of state agency TCEQ, 

local operators and contractors and an elected Board of Directors.

(MG) HOA DUTIES 

Middlegate’s homeowner’s association (HOA) is structured to help maintain a 

cohesive atmosphere in the neighborhood. Membership uniformly binds all 

791 homeowners to the association’s covenants, conditions and restrictions 

(CC&R). HOA membership is mandatory, not voluntary and each homeowner 

is assessed fees to help cover HOA expenses. The HOA assessments cover 

many expenses such as pool up-keep, street light electricity, mosquito 

fogging, mowing and irrigation of the parks and cul-de-sacs. Each 

homeowner is required to maintain their own property. Guidelines are found 

in the deed restrictions. See governing documents on Crest website. 

(MG) NEWSLETTER ARCHIVES 

Hello neighbors. Perhaps you missed an article or saw an ad you’d like to reread 

in the Copperfield newsletter? Publisher Krenek Printing makes past newsletter

(MG) PARKS 

Hi neighbors. Since we are all spending lots more time at home, we 

have more time to walk through the two Middlegate parks and enjoy 

the mature trees and listen to the nesting birds and chattering squirrels. 

Just like your house and yard, Middlegate parks need TLC. When you see 

residents checking off a punch list of maintenance items, know that they 

are taking positive steps in keeping Middlegate in good shape. Contact 

Crest Management if you’d like to be part of the park and pool commit-tee. 

(MG) WE ARE MIDDLEGATE 

Middlegate HOA Board directors and committee members are attentive 

to demands and wishes of residents. The Board members and committee 

members live in Middlegate too and they dutifully act on residents’ 

behalf. As the positions are voluntary, these residents are putting in 

the sweat equity for an unpaid reward. There is great satisfaction in 

ability to maintain common area upkeep. Your HOA Board members 

make budgetary decisions at every meeting. Not unlike your household 

expenses, many expenses are recurring while others are occasional or 

one-time costs. For those residents who’d like to join in this effort, stop 

into an HOA meeting or contact Crest. The required skill is the genuine 

desire to keep Middlegate the home we want for our families. 

(MG) ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW / EXTERIOR MODIFICATION REQUEST 

Please submit an Exterior Modification Request via the Crest website 

before beginning any project that would modify the outside of your 

home. You will need approval from the ACC/EMR committee to ensure the 

modification complies with the Middlegate Village Architectural Guidelines. 

Visit www.crest-management.com to first register your homeowner 

account. From there, you can submit an EMR via the Homeowner Portal. 

If you wish to change the color of your home, the Crest Management 

team has a list of approved exterior paint colors. Please contact Melanee 

for the approved list and for any concerns to submit an EMR to obtain 

approval of the change. (melaneeb@crest-mangement.com). 

You can utilize the EMR function to submit approval for other exterior 

jobs including new roof, window replacement, new fence, patio cover 

etc. Contact Crest with any concerns about the procedure or if you need 

assistance completing a request. (melaneeb@crest-mangement.com).

and put your trash bags & lawn clips on the edge of you driveway and if 

necessary park your car in the street. 


(NM) SANTA CAME TO NORTHMEAD 

Santa came to Northmead on Saturday, December 5th to the delight of children large and small. Even four legged friends decided they needed to tell 

Santa they had been good & have their picture taken. The Northmead HOA would like to say THANK YOU to Santa, Deputy Scott, The Prather Family 

and The Failla’s for their help putting on an amazing event.

BUT WILL RETURN IN FEBRUARY!! Watch for information and tips under 

CCA at the front of the newsletter. 

(NM) CRIME WATCH 

The Copperfield Villages monthly Crime Watch meeting has been 

converted to a ‘virtual’ delivery of the crime watch statistics monthly due 

to the low turnout at meetings and lack of an interest from the public to 

attend. Sergeant Lightfoot (HCSO) is posting monthly data via Nextdoor. 

com along with notable arrest info and tips monthly. 

are heroes daily anyway, but you deserve an extra dose of appreciation as 

we battle this new enemy. Hopefully, our country has started to rebuild 

by the time this newsletter comes out. 

(SC) DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS 

Please do not ignore deed restriction letters sent to your residence about 

deed restriction violations. Doing so can subject the property owner to 

a $35 charge per CERTIFIED letter if not settled by the homeowner in the 

time noted in the letter. Associa (PMG) manages this process and should 

be contacted if you require assistance in complying. Associa (PMG) will 

work with you to get the violation resolved, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 

COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICITONS EVERY HOMEOWNER 

AGREED TO ABIDE BY, SOME VIOLATIONS CAN BE CURED VIA THE 

ASSOCIATIONS SELF HELP RESTRICTION. The Association can hire a 

contractor to repair THESE VIOLATIONS and charge THE COST OF THIS 

SERVICE charged back to the Home Owner. 

The South Creek Village Community Association takes these violations 

very seriously and strives to keep up the Southcreek standards for 

attractive, well-maintained homes. If you should receive a violation, 

please take this seriously and CORRECT the violation. If the violation is 

not CORRECTED, the Southcreek Village Community Association will BE 

FORCED to turn it over to its legal representatives. Once that happens 

all future expenses are born by the homeowner. There is a charge of 

$125 AND UP FOR EACH LETTER. Please note that The Southcreek Village 

Community Association does not want to make the violations public. We 

are here to protect everybody’s property values. Please don’t disregard

Southcreek looking great, a place where everyone wants to live. 

(NM) DEED RESTRICTIONS ISSUES

available for reading or download on the community website, under

for those working on the frontline helping us stay safe. Take time to thank 

first responders, health care workers and grocery store employees. You

(SC) SPEEDING IN COMMUNITY 

You would expect your Homeowners Association (HOA) residents to drive 

safer the closer they get to home and you would hope that non-resident 

drivers-that benefit from your neighborhood’s ability to shorten their 

commute-would respect the speed limits as they cut-through each day. 

However, unique conditions make speeding prevalent in neighborhoods. 

Since residents travel their home streets daily, commutes can become 

“autopilot journeys.” When on “autopilot,” drivers are unaware that they 

go over the speed limit, don’t stop at crosswalks, roll through stop signs 

or brake too late-sometimes they don’t even remember driving home. 

Since neighborhood streets are transition points from higher-speed 

roads, drivers also may not readily realize how fast they are still going. 

Non-residents, who shortcut through residential streets to avoid traffic or 

to shave off a few seconds compared to another route, compound local 

speeding issues. You can bet that someone who is in such a hurry isn’t 

paying attention to your local speed limits. 

Compounding the issue, distracted driving has now surpassed speeding 

and drunk driving as the top cause of motor vehicle accidents. It is a growing 

epidemic, impacting the safety of residential streets. As drivers leave and 

return home on streets with slower speed limits, they may feel “safe enough” 

to check a text, look up Google Map directions or select a music playlist. 

Unfortunately, it only takes a second or two with eyes off the road to miss 

stopping at a crosswalk or not see a dog running into the street. 


(SC) BREAKING INTO MAILBOXES 

If the box is owned and maintained by the US Postal Service and is 

damaged/broken, then contact your local Post Office. If the LPO does 

not service the mailbox, this means the property owner or manager is 

responsible for the maintenance. 

If you see a mail thief at work, call police immediately, then report it to 

postal inspectors at 877-876-2455 (say “theft”). If you believe your mail was 

stolen, report it by submitting an online complaint at postalinspectors. 

uspis.gov or call 877-876-245.

good use of our HOA funds:

greenbelt which was a 2 yr. project; this included adding more lioripe 

and sod and removing dead hawthorns.

• Expansion of bed at Royal Gardens to reduce mud on sidewalks. 

• Flowers planted at both pools 

• Mulhy grass planted in front of drainage ditch on Hudson Oaks to 

improve appearance of the ditch. 

• Continuation of planting of seasonal color twice a year. 

• Maintenance of both the Prairie & Monarch beds; seed packet giveaways 

w/seeds harvested from these beds. 

• Identification of sidewalks that need repair along Forest Heights, Royal 

Gardens and Hudson Oaks. 

• Recipient of another grant which has been awarded to a Boy Scout to 

help w/his Eagle project; this project will be another native Texas bed at 

end of greenbelt in the triangle.

NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH 

The American Red Cross urges people to share their good health and 

resolve to give blood regularly, beginning in January with National 

Blood Donor Month. Below are key messages that can be relayed to 

donors while scheduling appointments. 

• Extreme winter weather in some parts of the country and seasonal 

illnesses often make it difficult for the American Red Cross to maintain a 

sufficient blood supply at this time of year. Healthy individuals are urged 

to give now. 

• The Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day 

for patients in need. 

• Do you know someone who has never donated before? Please encourage 

them to make an appointment with you. Without more donors, patients 

will not have the blood they need. 

• Type O negative is the universal blood type and what emergency 

personnel reach for in trauma situations when there isn’t time to 

determine a patient’s blood type. 

• Type O positive is the most transfused blood type and can be transfused 

to Rh-positive patients of any blood type. 

• Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or 

negative patients. 

• Save time by using RapidPass® to complete your pre-donation reading 

and health history online before you come to your appointment. Get 

started at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or by using the Blood Donor 

App. 

• For detailed donor eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1- 

800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org.

COMMON VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES 

As we embark on the journey each day to eat and live better, take note of 

the common vitamin nutrient deficiencies that are easily treated: 

1. Calcium: Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and 

controlling muscle and nerve function. Signs of severely low calcium 

include fatigue, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms and a poor 

appetite. Make sure you’re getting enough with at least three servings of 

milk or yogurt a day. Other good sources of calcium are cheese, calciumfortified 

orange juice and dark, leafy greens. 

2. Vitamin D: This vitamin is also critical for bone health. Symptoms 

of a vitamin D deficiency can be vague - fatigue and muscle aches or 

weakness. If it goes on long term, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to 

softening of the bones. To get enough vitamin D, have three servings 

of fortified milk or yogurt daily eating fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna, 

twice a week; and spend some time outside in the sunshine every day. 

3. Potassium: Potassium helps the kidneys, heart and other organs 

work properly. You could become low in potassium in the short term 

because of diarrhea or vomiting, excessive sweating or antibiotics or 

because of chronic conditions such as eating disorders and kidney 

disease, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Symptoms of 

a deficiency include weight loss, muscle weakness, constipation and in 

severe cases, an abnormal heart rhythm. For natural potassium sources, 

consume bananas, whole grains, milk, vegetables, beans and peas. 

4. Iron: Iron helps your body make red blood cells. When iron levels get 

too low, your body can’t effectively carry oxygen. The resulting anemia 

can cause fatigue. You might also notice pale skin and dull, thin, sparse 

hair. To boost iron levels, eat iron-fortified cereal, beef, oysters, beans 

(especially white beans, chickpeas and kidney beans), lentils and spinach. 

5. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 aids the production of DNA and helps make 

neurotransmitters in the brain. With an increasing number of vegans 

and people who’ve had weight loss surgery, vitamin B12 deficiency is 

becoming more common. Symptoms of severe B12 deficiency include 

numbness in the legs, hands or feet; problems with walking and balance; 

anemia; fatigue; weakness; a swollen, inflamed tongue; memory loss; 

paranoia; and hallucinations. You can get vitamin B12 from animal 

sources: eat more fish, chicken, milk and yogurt. If you’re vegan, opt for 

vegan foods fortified with B12, such as non-dairy milk, meat substitutes 

and breakfast cereals. 

6. Folate: Folate or folic acid, is a particularly important vitamin for 

women of childbearing age, which is why prenatal vitamins contain such 

a hefty dose. A folate deficiency can cause a decrease in the total number 

of cells and large red blood cells as well as neural tube defects in an 

unborn child. Symptoms of a folate deficiency include fatigue, gray hair, 

mouth ulcers, poor growth and a swollen tongue. To get folate from food, 

18 

go for fortified cereals, beans, lentils, leafy greens and oranges. 

7. Magnesium: Magnesium helps support bone health and assists in 

energy production. Magnesium deficiency can cause loss of appetite, 

nausea and vomiting, fatigue and weakness. In more severe cases, it can 

lead to numbness, muscle cramps, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, 

personality changes or low potassium or calcium levels. To help your 

levels return to normal, eat more magnesium-rich foods, such as almonds, 

cashews, peanuts, spinach, black beans and edamame.

EASY WAYS TO EAT MORE FRUITS & VEGGIES 

The new food plate unveiled by the Department of Agriculture sends a 

clear message: eat more fruits and vegetables. Here are easy ways to get 

more of these important foods into your diet: 

Start early: Get in the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables 

a day by eating them early with your morning meal. Add a banana to 

your cereal, berries to your yogurt, veggies to your omelet. 

Make them visible: Set out a fruit bowl in the kitchen or have carrot 

sticks available for snacking. Take some time to prepare the fruits or 

vegetables, so they are ready to eat. 

Frozen is good: Frozen vegetables, such as peas and carrots, are a great 

way to make sure you always have vegetables in the house. 

At mealtime, think of the veggies first, not the protein: Half of your 

plate needs to be filled with fruits and vegetables. Base your meals on 

what vegetables you’ll have and then think of the grains and protein to 

go with it. 

Have fruit with your sweets: Fruits are nature’s natural candy. Puree 

berries and adding them as a sauce to desserts, such as ice cream.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. 

Martin Luther King, Jr., an American clergyman and Nobel Prize 

winner was one of the principal leaders of the American civil rights 

movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest. King’s 

challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950s and 

1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause 

of civil rights in the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King 

became a symbol of protest in the struggle for racial justice. In 1957, 

King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference 

(SCLC), an organization of black churches and ministers that aimed 

to challenge racial segregation. As SCLC’s president, King became 

the organization’s dominate personality and its primary intellectual 

influence. He was responsible for much of the organization’s 

fundraising, which he frequently conducted in conjunction with 

preaching engagements in Northern churches. SCLC sought to 

complement the NAACP’s legal efforts to dismantle segregation 

through the courts, with King and other SCLC leaders encouraging 

the use of nonviolent direct action to protest discrimination. These 

activities included marches, demonstrations and boycotts. 

“I Have a Dream” - King and other black leaders organized the 1963 

March on Washington, a massive protest in Washington, D.C. for 

jobs and civil rights. On August 28, 1963, King delivered the keynote 

address to an audience of more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. 

His “I Have a Dream” speech expressed the hopes of the civil rights 

movement in oratory as moving as any in American history. After 

his death, King came to represent black courage and achievement, 

high moral leadership and the ability of Americans to address and 

overcome racial divisions. Perhaps the most important memorial 

is the national holiday in King’s honor, designated by the Congress 

of the United States in 1983 and observed on the third Monday in 

January, a day that falls on or near King’s birthday of January 15 th .

Gardening Tips For January 

• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of water 

than from lack of food. 

• Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering. 

• Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms. 

• Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and 

old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in drainage. Incorporate gypsum into 

heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate 

and quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before 

planting. 

• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete 

fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six 

inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or blood meal. 

Water in. 

• Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze 

damage to crown. 

• House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off 

leaves to open pores. Mist often. Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce 

water for poinsettias. 

• Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture. 

• Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as 

flowers open. Spray for scale with dormant oil solution if temperature 

will be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and heed 

manufacturer’s directions before spraying. 

• Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings 

of shrubs in mixture of loam and coarse sand; keep damp and semishaded 

until rooted. 

• Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape. 

Do not remove too much. Remove dead wood from trees and shrubs 

before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape 

myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting 

unwanted canes out at base of plant. 

• Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the 

spring buds break. To prevent later appearance of disease in the old beds, 

keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of new 

beds for roses. 

• Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody 

plants, both evergreen and deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be 

expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and cultural 

needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid 

crowding later. Group plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet 

soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist. 

• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about 

50% humus, including rotted manure. 

• Winter Protection: Expect freeze any time; plan for protection of tender 

plants. Water. Remove coverings, particularly plastic, when temperature 

rises. Protect low plants with dry leaves, pine needles or soil mulch, but 

remove when weather warms.

LOVE YOURSELF 

To love yourself means to respect and appreciate yourself as you are and to come to 

terms with those aspects of yourself that you can’t change - the aspects that make 

you unique. It means allowing yourself to drop the conditions that you have created 

to love yourself like, “I will love myself once I…” and simply choose to embrace the 

good and the bad, the mistakes and the triumphs. 

Loving yourself isn’t a one-time thing, but an endless, ongoing process that starts 

with realizing that it’s not about discovering self-love; it’s about tearing down the 

walls you’ve built against it. Below are 6 ways to learn to love yourself more: 

1. Focus on the things you like about yourself 

2. Make time to do the things you enjoy 

3. Let go of mistakes and embrace the past 

4. Appreciate your life 

5. Get out of your comfort zone 

6. Take care of your body!
