Hello to all from this little corner of the world. This column was written on Sunday, 8-16-2026. The sky was a medium blue Sunday with no clouds noted at home at the time of this writing. The weather was HOT, as we all know. The temperature was 94 degrees with a heat index of 110 degrees around noon. There was a slight breeze. James mowed the mini farm yesterday, although four hours on a zero turn does not seem mini. He also started early in the day weed-eating and working around his blackberry bushes so they will do well next year. I did not go out Saturday except with Remi. If you read my column, you know the heat and I do not agree. I can mow because I am moving so it does not seem as hot. James did use some sunscreen. I did things in the house. Please stay in as much as possible; otherwise, take frequent breaks, find shade, wear light colored clothing and a cap/hat to protect head and ears.
