Large shutters add charm to an ordinarily plain window on the outside of a home. They can be used for doors on closets on the inside of a home. They can also be used instead of or in addition to window treatments in a home. Inside windows Large shutters can be used to add an interesting look to the inside of a window.

This effect is particularly interesting on a large picture window that needs no privacy. Paint the shutters the same color as the moulding around the windows and doors in the room. Screw them securely to (he wall and the whole room takes on a country, outdoorsy look. A contrasting color really makes the shutters stand out in a room and draws attention to the windows, so these are excellent for a beautiful view. The slats in the shutters will add texture to a room and are excellent for the masculine and contemporary decor. Shutters as accents Louvered doors, which are shutters, make great privacy screens. Privacy screens were used before bathrooms or for people who couldnt afford dressing rooms. People dressed behind them and then pushed them into a comer or folded them when not in use. Screens smooth a comer beautifully. They can be used behind plants, sofas, or other furniture to create the illusion and help the room flow together. If room allows in todays homes for beds to be positioned diagonally, the space behind the head of the bed is the perfect spot for three or four louvered shutters hinged together to form a privacy screen. This not only smooths the gap in the comer of the room created Senior Calendar Heritage Senior Citizens Center by the diagonal position of the bed, but it gives the comer height. This helps balance the small space and the big bed by moving the eye up the wall. 562 S. 1000 East, ield, This week is National Volunteer Week. The center will be honoring people who help out. Homebound meal drivers and runner volunteers will be honored today; class instruc- Small shutters can be purchased without louvers and ready for fabric inserts. Colored glass can also be cut and installed in shutters and used in windows to match the decor of the room. Windows can be shuttered halfway to add privacy and softer treatments above them. They are coming back into style and add so much character to your home. Soggy spring ruins plan Clearf- 773-706- 5 tors and entertainers on Wednesday; and desk hostesses and students on Thursday.

April 1 5 is the day each year that valves restraining our secondary water supplies are opened, and sprinkler systems across the valley are activated. In past years, Ive started my garden using tap water to get a jump on the season. By April 1, Im counting the days until the Weber water is activated. The tap water helps when Im preparing the soil and clearing fol- lowing lunch. Pinochle is played each Tuesday and Thursday after lunch. Pool and rummy are available daily.

Most years, the weather is warm enough to plant the hardier vegetable seeds and seedlings before April 15. This year. Im still wondering when well get our final frost. Working the soil is and Ive made very little progress. If it w erent for the bulbs that are blooming along the rocks in the front yard. Id have lost all hope for this years season. The unseasonably wet and cool weather hasn't really postponed grow th - the grass in our back yard is knee high, and the w eeds are taking over our berry patch. But the weather has postponed our ability to cope with the new growth. I'm hoping the lawn will dry out enough to be mowed before it totally obscures my rose bushes. To blame this weird spring on Cl Nino doesnt mean much. It's too abstract. In my household, El Nino has become the scapegoat for all things inexplicable. Last week, LI Nino ate the last Eggo; the week before, he tracked mud into the kitchen. Sometimes at . night, we hear him scuttling around in our basement. Soon, the ground will warm and Ill be able to pull the weeds and get started on my carrots and broccoli. Ill be able to put in summer squash and cucumber mounds, and set tomato and pepper plants. The kids always devote a few hours on Mothers Day to weeding the flower beds, and with their help, maybe we can make up for lost time. If the warming is gradual, we may be able to slip into summer with few mudslide or flooding problems along the Wasatch. Come summer, our only challenge may be the bumper crop of mosquitoes this soggy spring is destined to produce. Smiths Bakery will be able at 12:15 on Friday. Autumn Glow Senior Citizens Center 81 E.

Begin planning now. To provide a habitat for butterflies, make sure you select a sunny location that is sheltered from the wind," said Bill Varga, director of the USU botanical gardens. The adult butterfly requires a variety of plants that will supply nectar continuously through the growing season." Butterflies cannot drink from open water, so fill a container with sand and keep it saturated with water, he said. Utah has a variety of butterflies that frequent our area at various times. They each have specific food requirements. With a little extra planning, you can have an interesting and lovely garden that will attract these fanciful flying creatures." There are hundreds of butterflies common to these- include the great basin wood nymph, which prefers grasses, alfalfa, purple concflowcr, mint, spirca, sunflower, penste-mo- n and virgin's Bower.
