Went to Wichita on Sunday to visit with Wade at Wesley hospital, as he fell the other day and broke three ribs in his back. On the way home Jody Reynolds and I were talking about how green everything is still this late in August.
It is pretty out right now with everything still green and hay fields full of large round and large square bales of hay. I don’t know why I say large on both of them, does anyone even bale small round bales? I know some still bale the small square bales.

School is in full swing. Many schools started last week. Is it my imagination or are they starting school earlier each year? When I was in school we started, usually, on the last Wednesday or Thursday of August. I can remember us kids talking about why didn’t they just wait and have us start on the Tuesday morning after Labor Day? It seems dumb to go a half day then one or two days then three days off.
Oh well, whatever. Be on the lookout for school buses stopping frequently to pick up kids and kids hurrying around either on foot or bicycles.

Answer: Boy Scouts.
We have one more month until Autumn. So far this year we have not official-ly hit triple digits on the thermometer. That is great news. Once it gets over 95° does the temperature really make a difference?

Construction on Cedar Creek Bridge on Hwy 105 has been stalled this past week. I’m guessing the large amounts of rain probably contributed to the inability to do much work.
