Hi Everybody,<\/p>\n
After traveling to Arkansas for a grandson\u2019s graduation, it really felt good driving into Valley City last Monday evening.\u00a0I like being \u201chome\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were gone for a long weekend and one of the first things we noticed was how much colors had changed.\u00a0The grass and the trees had changed considerably and that was even before the nice rain!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Construction projects have begun around town so you are urged to drive with extra care being aware of workers, detours and equipment.\u00a0Please be safe and respectful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I began writing last Saturday, I wrote about dry ground and fire danger.\u00a0Then Sunday morning we were Blessed with a nice rain, .96 of an inch at our house, so I had to toss my initial writing!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can all be grateful for the moisture as many of our area\u2019s crops were reaching critical stages.\u00a0For those of us who have been struggling with all the pollen in the air, perhaps the rain rid the air of at least some pollen.\u00a0Yeah!<\/p>\n
