It is still T-shirt weather but the long pants have come out. I am still holding out on the flip flops and won’t give in for at least another month. I have been watching the ponds and they still need a lot more water before fall is over.

We have had some beautiful days. Now we are getting some much-needed rain. But the rest of the week looks good so everyone should be happy.

I don’t think anyone can argue about how beautiful the blue moon was this past week. A few wacky things that happened around, which my mother always attributed to the full moon, but the nights were perfect and very bright.
Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. I have a lot of balloons to give out this week, but the list was not ready for the deadline of this column as the school has a new system. They are still getting used to it and should have it mastered by the end of the day. So we will list them next week

Cool nights — that’s what we live for after hot summer nights. Cool sheets and pillow cases and a good night’s sleep. We have had some great nights and very nice days. Who could ask for more? Happy Birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Brandon Steigelman, who celebrated his day August 18, Taylor Fauteux and Nicolas Vukota, who celebrated their day August 20, Anthony Chick, August 22 and to Michael Courtney, Joseph Serpa, and Aidan Varkonda, who all celebrate their day today, August 24.
