As the rain continues to fall this past weekend, the farmers continue to watch and wait for the sun to shine so the harvest can start. I know that farmers are never happy, but this is definitely a reversal of what the seasons should have been. I guess it will do good for the pastures and lays a good foundation for next spring's moisture levels. That doesn't help my half cut lawn, though.
Linda Helmer stopped by to let me know that Marilyn Olmstead will be hosting St. Mary's Birthday Club for Sept. 21. I would like to thank all the volunteers who give time to this wonderful monthly event. The residents really enjoy the company, music and birthday treats. Thank you for giving me a bit of news to submit because as you can see the column is a little short this week. Please let me know what is happening in the community, I would love to share it with everyone.
Here's my joke of the week, enjoy:
Bubba decided it was time to purchase a new saw to help clear his heavily timbered property. A salesman showed him the latest model chain saw and assured him that he could easily cut three or four cords of wood per day with it. But the first day, Bubba barely cut one cord of wood. The second morning he arose an hour earlier and managed to cut a little over one cord. The third day he got up even earlier but only managed to achieve a total of 1 ½ cords of wood.
Bubba returned the saw to the store the next day and explained the situation.
"Well", said the salesman, "let's see what's the matter." He then pulled the cable and the chain saw sprang into action.
Leaping back, Bubba shouted, "What the heck is that noise?"
Have a good week.
