with Vickie Ellis
Hello to all from our little corner of the world. The sky was light blue with white puffy clouds on Sunday, and the temperature was 84 degrees.
We are working our way to cooler weather. The dry weather is helping the farmers harvest. I do see lots of hay being baled. Farming is interesting, yet hard work. Those big machines are interesting, too. I talked to a man the other day who told me a little about baling hay. I wondered how they knew when the roll was big enough and how it was wrapped. Well, remember I am a city girl living in the country. I wish the children that lived in the city could see the beauty and simplicity of country life. I am still waiting on mums and would like a few pansies. The week ahead begins HOT but moderates as the week goes on. I am looking forward to the 70s. We plan to trim bushes and tie up loose ends then. Our HUGE yard has been mowed and trimmed again, trying to get ahead of the heat.

Remember: if you have news, please email me at mimmiepots@gmail.com. I would truly appreciate any news. People from here and those who have moved from our area but still want to keep in touch through the newspaper are hungry for news from home.
Until next week, Happy Trails to You.
