Happy Independence Day!

Monday, July 5, 2021
Hello friends,
Happy Independence Day! I hope you had a safe holiday. We had a rather quiet weekend. A few friends over yesterday afternoon for a cookout and watching fireworks from a distance. There are quite a few people that live in the city and have property here in Linn County. This was a great weekend to come down and shoot fireworks over their lakes and ponds. Unfortunately, there are a lot of pesky trees in the way.
The rain has revived the pastures, and the cows are chowing down again. Not that they ever really slowed down except that they felt more like hanging around in the shade than foraging in the sunshine. Bill was finally able to mow the lawn on Saturday. It really needed it. He taught me how to use my mom’s little push mower so I could collect grass clippings for mulch. I was sweating buckets! Even with self-propelled front wheels. It won’t be long, and we’ll have to cut it again….
