In the Mt. Zion area the water is back in the creek banks mostly. The crops look good. Here in the middle of August and everything is still green and kids are going off to collage and school, the year is going fast. A thought from Mt. Zion: To thrive in life you need three bones, a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.
