<font color="#ffffff">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Isn't this weather wonderful? It's just what the doctor ordered!
We've even gotten some much-needed rain. I hope it was in time to save
some of my neglected plants. It looks like it has begun to refill the
little beaver pond down the hill, which had gotten really low, stagnant
and nasty, so much so that I don't even think the beavers had been
getting out in it lately. Our ducks that were down there didn't make
it through the summer. The daddy duck disappeared quite a while back,
and the little female got on the road and got run over later. It
seems kind of barren down there without the ducks, and with the beavers
staying hidden. Maybe this cooler weather and a little rain will bring
life back to it.<br>
<br>
Today is the one year anniversary of the devastation that was Hurricane
Katrina. I've never been to New Orleans, and am not that familiar with
it, but Saturday at the Midnite Riters book signing, they had the room
decorated in a French Quarter New Orleans theme, and it really made you
appreciate the uniqueness of the place. Now I can begin to understand
why the people would want to reclaim it from the sea, as impossible as
that sounds. <br>
<br>
Remember, today and tomorrow up to 1:15 are the last days to register
to win the Dr. Pepper bike and helmet here in the Cafeteria. Come in
an register if you haven't done so yet. <br>
