Well it is a beautiful and cool morning here in our little valley. It is 55 degrees and not a cloud in a beautiful sky. I have got my coffee and I am enjoying the swing on the front porch.

We have been hearing the old John Deere tractor early in the mornings and late in the day. Our neighbor has been cutting that hay while the sun shines. They brought us a big bag of squash and...
