<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, we've almost got this week whipped. The rest of the week will be
a piece of cake, (probably funnel cake at the Fall Festival actually).
Sound good to you?<br>
<br>
I've noticed lately that since it's been cooler and we've been getting
some rain, some of my flowers are starting to take an interest in
actually living. My Crape Myrtles are blooming, along with some red
spider lilies? that popped up from nowhere. My beautiful purple
clematis vine that trails over my archway is actually looking alive
again and got quite a few blooms on it for a plant that looked like it
was history just a few weeks ago. I have a few phlox and obedient
plants in front of the house that have managed to outwit the weeds and
put on a few blossoms, and if I get up early enough, I get to enjoy the
beautiful blue morning glories that have seeded themselves all around
our house. Even the little white flowers on the bindweed are pretty.
(And don't forget the orange trumpet or hummingbird vine that is slowly
sucking the siding off the end of our house!) All that should give the
migrating butterflies plenty of nourishment on their way south, if our
one little resident hummingbird doesn't chase them away. I've noticed
some of the foliage starting to change to its autumn wardrobe lately,
so be sure and get out these next few days and take it all in. It may
not be at peak color yet, but it's still worth it just to get out,
breathe the fresh air and enjoy the day. <br>
<br>
Be sure to wish Keith Lewis a Happy Birthday today. He's a great guy.
I'm not sure how old he actually is, but he's worked here a looooong
time so you do the math.<br>
<br>
Another one of our technical expert guys, Jeff Weems, will be
celebrating his birthday on Friday. You know you're special when
everybody gets two days off for your birthday! <br>
<br>
I should be sending out another email later today detailing the
Cafeteria's schedule for the next few days. Watch for it if you plan
on eating here. <br>
