The temperatures have been in the low sixties in the early morning for the last few days and that is good for me anyway. We still are really short on rain and yards, gardens, and pastures are really suffering. Any farmer can tell you that when it gets this dry the cattle start looking for greener grass and it is hard to keep them in the fences.

Early mornings and evenings after school time the buses are traveling around the area so please be careful and observe the stop signs on the buses. Children sometimes forget to be safe, especially when they are in a hurry to get home or somewhere else so watch out for them.

The Lewis County Girl Scouts visited the Fairy Tales Animal Farm on Saturday and all the girls and adults that accompanied them really enjoyed the day.

Wishing you and yours a safe week and remember to stay hydrated. Remember those who are less fortunate and can’t be out and around the area and call, send cards or visit if you can, just think if you were shut-in how you might feel.
