The weather has been good in the Mt. Zion area, some showers of rain; farmers are shelling corn and making feed for silo. My doorknob garden is still doing good okra, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash this past week.

I like the way Terri Schiereck keeps her fence and road way mowed and Mother Nature’s landscape with a group of white mushrooms, the blackberry lilies are almost blackberries.

John and Julia Snethen went to Bolivar this week for some minor surgery for John. Julia had John in the emergency room Friday but he is doing better now. Son, Ron, was home for the weekend and finished the front porch.
