We have moved back into a light fall time again and the temperatures have been moderate and not so cold at night. The leaves are really falling and many have been mowing or raking them to burn when they can or putting them on garden spots. Either way, it is still lots of work to keep it done and then the next day it has to be done again until all the leaves are off the trees. The sunshine has been pretty the last few days although the wind was quite brisk on Sunday afternoon. We are enjoying some beautiful fall days and the foliage is just...
With October Heritage Festival in full swing, the week ended with rain which caused some of the events to be cancelled and many vendors to also close for the remaining days. At least most of the week was good for yard sales and other things. Hopefully those who had a lot of stuff out did not get it wet. The leaves came off heavy with the falling of the rain and are everywhere, but the woods are still beautiful with all the varied colors.

We are having another week of fall like weather. The weather people predict that the early part of October will be cool with temperatures down in the thirties. This is not good for flowers which are outside. We have had some showers around the area, which helps to clean the air and also water the plants that are growing. There are still some wildflowers blooming along the roads for people to view. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need: William Barber, David and Joyce Barnes, G.Y.

This past week has, for the most part, been like fall. The temperatures have been in the fifties at night and low to mid-seventies most days. The leaves are really falling now and soon it will be just bare trees. You can see a lot further through the trees when the leaves are gone. Many have hunted jackets for the early morning and times when they are out at night.

Friday and the weekend proved to be a wet time for this area. It also caused the creeks to get higher than they have been in several years. Hopefully, everyone was safe. Little Swan Creek was out of its boundaries in several places and along the low area that runs from the steel bridge on Little Swan through the low land. It was over the road at one time, but not for long, and there was not a lot of debris in the road.Hopefully, it did not damage fences along the area where people have cattle. This has happened before when it damaged lots of...
The past few days have been cooler, especially at night, and the humidity has been lower which makes it feels not as hot even though it has been in the eighties during the days. I have not had as many hummingbirds. I wonder if they have already left or are just using the flowers which are blooming around the area, even the wild honeysuckles are blooming around the area.

With the hurricane we have had lots of thunderstorms and rain for several days. We are proud of the rain as it was getting dry around the area and the trees were even shedding some of their leaves. The temperatures during the day have been in the upper eighties and low nineties lately and in the seventies at night, which is nice. Tuesday was the first day of September. This year is swiftly passing away and it seems only yesterday it was the beginning of this year. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need:...
August is proving to be a hot month with temperatures in the upper eighties and nineties during the day and in the sixties at night, which is pleasant. There have been scattered showers around the area with intermittent patches of rain. That has been true for only a few miles separating the showers. We could use some good ground soaking rains, but we know that God will bless us with what we need.

It is about the same weather this past week as the week before, hot, and for the most part dry, but there were a few scattered showers in the area. The creeks in the area have been very popular as many take time for a dip to cool off and have some fun. Several in my family really enjoy playing and cooling off in Swan Creek. I know the water feels good when temperature in the upper eighties, are nineties or above during the afternoon.

It has been a really hot week, more like August than July, but really hot anyway. I hope if you are out much that you stay hydrated because many have suffered from not having enough water to drink and getting sick. Water is very important to our body and nothing keeps it going like water. No other drink helps as much and sugar drinks really just make you thirstier. It is predicted that we will have another week of this hot weather with temperatures reaching into the nineties and heat index over one hundred. Those who are sick or shut-in and in...
Several thunderstorms came through the area over the last week or two and some damage occurred with trees down and power outages in the community. On Sunday morning, there was lots of rain and thunder along with strong winds and trees down causing power outages. Some had no power most of the day on Sunday. We had to eat breakfast and dress by candlelight, which was not much fun, but still made it to church on time. I guess it does us good to have to be without what we are used to some times to remind us of what could be and has been in the...
We are into the last half of the year 2020 and praying that the last half will be better than the first half has been for our nation and world. May the problems which have beset us be less and not as consuming as those of the first half. May God bless this great nation and help us to do those things that will bring it back to being One Nation Under God. This will solve a lot of our problems.

I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe July 4th. Our country needs the prayers of all who believe in our nation and in God. Our nation is facing some trying times, but it has in the past and survived. We can do it again by electing leaders who will stand for the right and hold up the constitution of the nation as it has been in the past, and should, for it was set up by leaders who believed in God. Be safe in all you do and remember to follow guidelines for safety as set forth by the health professionals. Those who are sick or shut-in...
This is the beginning of summer and the temperatures show that to be true. The days have been in the upper eighties and low nineties and nights have dipped into the fifties a few times and low sixties other nights. The waterways and creeks have been utilized by many as the water, especially in the creeks, is cool to cold most of the time and when you get hot working or just being outside it is refreshing to enjoy. Several in my family were doing just that on Saturday with some kayaking and others just enjoying a picnic and swimming along the...
This has been another week of summer weather with the nights being in the upper fifties and days into the eighties and low nineties. The humidity for the most part has been low, making for great days and a beautiful time to see the sights of the season. I understand there was hail in Centerville on Sunday and it got cloudy and windy and thundered here. I thought we would get a thundershower but did not rain any so guess it missed us. Hopefully there was not much damage from the storms in other places. If it does not get really dry there will...
It was a wonderful week for farmers who were working in hay. May could have been a little cooler, but it was dry and that is what it takes to get hay cut and ready to put in the barn or storage area. There were many who were doing just that. I know it is hard work and tiring, but has to be done to feed cattle during the winter months. We had some showers earlier in the week and some scattered in other areas during the week, but most did not hinder the farm work.

Still summer-like temperatures in the daytime but nights have been in the fifties which seems to make beautiful mornings with the fog laying in the bottoms and over the waterways. Then the sun breaks through and washes it all away to reveal the sunshine of a warm day. This has also been a dry week and that is good for all those who are cutting hay and getting it ready to go in the storage areas for the summer. Days have been warm enough for many to seek the coolness of the creeks and other natural waterways in the area. Those who are sick or...
It is beginning to be more like summer have been. Temperatures in the upper seventies and eighties in the day and staying in the sixties at night. Of course, this brings many of the young and young-at-heart to the creeks for a dip, especially after some strenuous activity like chasing cattle. We have also had several thunder showers pop up, mostly in the afternoon and evening. Maybe the cooler temperatures of thirties and forties are gone for the summer. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need: David and...
The temperatures have been more like summertime and it really feels good. Of course, when it gets really hot, we will be saying it is too hot. It is just human nature to not be satisfied with what we have at least for the most part. If the rain keeps coming, there should be an abundance of blackberries for the blooms are really full and plentiful. With the warmer temperatures and some showers, the gardens and pastures are beginning to grow. That is good for I know lots of people enjoy fresh produce from their labors. Those who are sick or...
We have been thrown back into winter with temperatures in the thirties around the area and frost to many places, but maybe it will soon be warmer day and night at least a little, not ready for the eighties and nineties but fifties at night and upper sixties to seventies would be nice during the day. It is so you never know what to put on or carry if going somewhere of course that has been somewhat limited anyway with the quarantine in place. We have also had lots of rain and sometimes even getting the creeks up a little but rain is something...
I guess it was blackberry winter we jsut finished because the vines are really pretty with so many blooms on them. As far as other weather goes, we had a thunderstorm Sunday night which was pretty fierce with high winds and hard rain, thunder and lightning. There were trees down and power outages everywhere and even in surrounding counties. As I was going over to Selina’s to check on things, I had to ease around a tree with some pretty big limbs. Jesse came and cut it up and we got it moved off the road so people could get through without hitti...
I don’t know what weather the last few days has been unless it is blackberry, but it has been cold at night - even in the low thirties and not above the mid-fifties some days. I, for one, am ready for spring and the temperatures to stay above forty at least during the night. Even some early gardeners have had plants bitten or killed by the frost we have had which is kind of discouraging when one works hard to start a garden to help feed the family and then it gets killed. This is the last week in April and one would think it would begin to warm...
Still Tennessee weather. One day begins with temperatures in the thirties and the next will be in the fifties, even early morning. Days have been better with some up in the seventies and we have had several showers during the nights and days. One night we were sitting outside after 7:00 p.m. and listening to the sounds and talking to my sister and then, all of a sudden, it rained a hard shower. It was surprising because it did not even look really cloudy. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need: David and...
We have had some cooler temperatures, even in the thirties, so I guess this is some of those winters that come with spring. Dogwoods have bloomed so maybe this is blackberry winter. It was cold enough that some of the early rising plants were bitten by its blast. Maybe we won’t have many more spells this cold. I am ready for the warmer temperatures, both night and day. The children want to go to the creek, but I tell them it has to be warmer at night for us to do that although anyone that knows Swan Creek knows it is never warm, even if the t...
