<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, we got rained on again, didn't we? All this rain and dampness
caused a near Cat-astrophe at my house yesterday evening, when my
little wooden table I'd made several years ago that had my little mama
cat and her two kittens nested up in a wooden box atop it collapsed,
sending box, babies and all out into the rain. Fortunately it wasn't
coming down too hard at the time and I noticed it fairly quickly, so I
was able to get out there and scoop them up before they got too
drenched. We got them snuggled up in a nice dry towel in the house and
they were much happier. Our chickens are not enjoying all this rain
much, either, but the duck is fine with it. He's in his element.
<br>
<br>
Maybe this rain will help save some of the plants that had to be
transplanted from the flower bed at the back corner of the Student
Union that was affected by the sidewalk removal project. I'm afraid
there's not much to be done for the poor trees next to the Fieldhouse
though. There are about 4 of them in a row, and it looks like all but
the first one are just about dead. They seem to be coming up from the
base but they tops seem to have died for some reason. I hate to see
that happen, because in a hot Oklahoma summer, (and you know it'll be
here soon), a good shade tree can be a lifesaver. We've really lost a
lot of our wonderful trees from this area in the past few years, due to
ice storms, droughts, tornadoes, pests, construction, etc. If you get
a chance to plant a tree, it's a great investment in the future.<br>
<br>
Belated birthday wishes go out to Betty Wharton, nursing instructor at
our Idabel campus, who celebrated a birthday yesterday, and Happy
Birthday wishes for today go out to Katharyn Couch, Criminal Justice
and Psychology instructor here at our Wilburton campus.<br>
Hope these ladies have a great time.<br>
