As I am writing this news, it is gently raining. No matter how much I watered my garden there still were cracks in the ground.

Alex Stuchlik asked me if my tomatoes were ripening. My tomatoes are growing larger and larger, but they are not ripening. Why?

Reign and Marlene Anduss, Ramona, visited Thursday night with me. They brought me four large tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, and zucchini. When I sliced a tomato, the slice was so large it covered a slice of bread. Was it ever good — so tasteful. Home grown vegetables are so good. When I husked the sweet corn I threw the husks over the fence to the cattle. Only four of my cows got a taste.

Douglas Strecker, Peabody, showed up Saturday morning. Marsha didn't come as she was in charge of a family reunion at Newton. Douglas was concerned about my lawn. It hasn't been mowed since June 25, the wedding day of Douglas and Marsha. Clark, supervisor of a construction company, has been working seven days a week. Douglas mowed my lawn and ate a catfish dinner with me. He left early so he could take in the barbecue supper at the family reunion.

My neighbors, Junior Hanschus, Alex Stuchliks, Rezniceks, and Deines had no news. The temperature was too hot for socializing.

Larry Rudolph attended Ollenberger's sale Saturday at Marion County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro.

The Mervin Deines family stayed up until 2 a.m. to put up the last of their hay. Leona said it was quiet in her house this morning. The family was sleeping.

Paul and Raelene Hajek were in Hugoton July 3 and 4 visiting Jason and Carla Hajek and son, Cooper.

Cade and Maggie McLean visited grandparents, Paul and Raelene Hajek from July 14 to 18 when Raelene will take them to Grandma McLean in Hutchinson.

Irma Benda said the green pumpkin was now turning again to orange, but it has a few red spots so she plans to feed it to the hogs.
