    We just finished the time change of the year which many do not like, because of the daylight hours, but then some like it this way. I would love to stay the way we just changed from but that doesn’t seem to matter to many who have the say of what we do. It has been so dry that the leaves are really falling, and the trees will soon be bare, the ones that lose their leaves. If you smoke and are used to tossing your cigarettes and other items that might have fire to them, please be careful for one tossed out along the road could start a fire that...

    We are in the fall season of the year, and it shows everywhere you look, the leaves are falling at a very fast rate and the trees that shed will soon be bare. A time of year that many do not like because it is the death of many plants and green scenery. My mother never liked fall she said it made her sad to see all the beauty of the earth so drab. I guess we could look at it that way, I like to think of it as a resting time for the earth to begin in Spring to create a new and beautiful world as God created it. The temperatures have been in the...

    Another week of fall weather and fall is here so I guess that is the way it should be, we still have not had rain, but the dew has been heavy lots of mornings.

    Definitely has been like a fall week, the leaves are really falling and could partly be because we have been so dry. The night temperatures have been in the upper fifties and low sixties. The animals seem to be getting ready for fall and birds are gathering in flocks to head south for the winter. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley, Linda Butler, Elizabeth Boggs, Cathey Carroll, Gertie Carroll, Pam James Carroll, Spencer Clark, Nita Cottrel, Robert and Pat Dickso...

    The past week has been a terrible week for storms and rain, in many areas of the southern United States there has been lots of damage from the hurricanes that came onto the land. There was also the loss of many lives and much damage to buildings, homes, roads and many other things. We pray for all those in the areas where these storms struck. Even with all the rain that fell in the area the creeks never got up, I guess it was because we were so low on water levels from the drought during the last several weeks. Those I know which are sick...

    The last couple of weeks the area has gotten some much needed rain, with some thundershowers with wind and rain and during the fair rain a couple of nights and some events were cancelled on Thursday and Saturday nights. Some even got more than two inches with it varying from one area to another, but all was very welcome. The temperatures are still in the sixties and low seventies at night but up above eighty during the afternoon.

    Got some rain along with a thunderstorm, not serious but had lightning and thunder and rain. We are very thankful for the rain as I know the animals in the wild are because their food supply has suffered with it being so dry. The temperatures have been like fall of the year and the leaves are really falling, I guess because it has been so dry. Mornings have been in the low forties and then back up to eighty during the day. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley,...

    We finally had some rain in the area on Friday, and again on Saturday and Sunday which is very welcome, but every little bit helps as dry as it is now, think it was said that it has been over sixty years since it has been this dry in our county. Some are having issues with water getting low, and ponds going dry, and having to haul water from other places, and if we do not get more rain soon there will probably be more water problems.

    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.

    In the last week or so we have had several showers pop up during the day and night which has added rain to help alleviate the lack we have had most of the late summer. We appreciate the rain which not only helps the pastures, yards, and gardens which are still producing, but also washes all the vegetation and cleans the air.

    Still a few thundershowers around the area but not over all the area, sometimes it rains in town and not one drop down on the creek and then it comes a shower with thunder and not a drop in town I guess we need to be glad for what we get since it is so dry.

    Goes without saying we are still very hot and dry; many have been playing in ball tournaments and it really hot especially if you can’t find some shade to sit in. the players have made it good even though it has been so hot but guess the heat doesn’t bother them as much as it does us older ones. My great grand daughter is playing with a team that has not lost a game as on Monday in the state tournament. They play today and then we will know where we go from here. Congratulations to this ball team and others as they play their games. Those I k...

    Still very dry in our area and the severe dry has make fires more dangerous, if you plan on using fireworks during the coming July 4th celebration, please use caution and do not be in open fields where there is dry grass and trees and if you smoke, please do not toss cigarettes out the windows of your car, many forest fires have started this way. We really could use some rain and the weather people are saying we should get some.

    We have gotten to the portion of summer where it is hot and dry, have had a few showers but not enough to moisten the ground. The yards, fields, and gardens are suffering and even some leaves are falling from the trees from lack of moisture. The creeks and other water have been inviting to many in the area.

    wind. The rain is good for the farmers’ crops and the gardens that many in the area grow. This past Saturday night we had a thunderstorm and it had some fierce lightening and thunder, it would rattle the windows as mom used to say, actually it was early Monday morning but there was no loss of power where we were.

    The weather has been rather mild, still with lots of rain, which is good for the gardens and crops that are growing in the area. The days have been rather hot and sometimes the humidity makes it worse with temperatures in the eighties. The nights have still been nice with temperatures in the fifties and sixties most of the time. Some in the area have been trying out the creeks in the area which are still very cold but don’t get much better even when the nights are warm. Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in t...

    I would guess that many residents of Lewis County and Hohenwald were awoken by the ringing of the telephone in the early hours of Monday the 27th, it was the emergency service saying we were under a thunderstorm watch for a few hours. It did come a thunderstorm but now as severe as was predicted we had lots of thunder and lightning but no hail and not a lot of wind we did have lot of rain. Hope in your area it was also calm. I am glad we have this service to warm us of dangerous weather situations. Those I know of who are sick either at home,...

    Once again last week, the weather has been a big influence on the area as Wednesday afternoon there was hail in some places about the size of a baseball. During the thunderstorm that brought the hail a large tree fell just below my house and several on Claude Carroll Rd and on Little Swan Creek toward highway 412 were without power for several hours. The power was restored thanks to MLEC at about eight pm but the internet and phones were out until Thursday about noon. There were lots of tree limbs and debris around the area and we were under a...

    Last week was a very trying and unusual weather week, on Wednesday afternoon we had hail along with thunder and lightening and lot of rain, the hail was as large as baseballs in some areas, and this can certainly damage cars, houses and animals that are out in the open. Our area was not hit by tornados as some in the center Tennessee area and even some loss of lives. We pray for those in areas where this damage and loss occurred. We are still having lots of rain along with thunderstorms. Monday started off with thunder and rain in the early...

    Pretty sure that Spring is here, it has been in the mid to upper eighties several days lately and even the nights have been warmer. The flowers are doing well, and many wildflowers have already bloomed and lost their blooms. We have had several thunder showers and many with heavy rain and even heavy thunder and lightning, which has hindered many of the ball games from being completed. Several softball and baseball teams were on the fields on Saturday along with Spring Fest which also suffered because of thunderstorms. Hope you didn’t get wet i...
