A Confused Tree
Written by Keith Monday, 30 August 2010 20:24
A crab apple tree at our previous house is blooming! The entire tree is not covered with pink blossoms as it is in the Spring, but there are several branches with clumps of blossoms.
I called the Extension Service. The lady I talked with was surprised. Her conclusion: The tree seems to be confused.
I agree. I thought that perhaps all the rain and hot weather tricked the tree's brain into thinking it was Spring again.
How We Enjoyed Sweet Corn Day
Written by Keith Saturday, 21 August 2010 10:46
Like many other attendees, we enjoyed visiting with friends whom we don't see very often and family members.
The breakfasts offer a great venue at which to begin the visiting! That was the case when we enjoyed our omelet breakfast Sunday morning, as Marian and Bill Hall invited us to join the entire family of Maurice and Cathryn Williams. That family makes it a point to gather in Lime Springs for a family reunion during SWD. The siblings, all of whom were at the breakfast table, are Jack, Marian Kay, Janet, and Jane. Also joining the family gathering was their cousin Marlene of Sac City, daughter of Maurice and Emryn's sister Marian.
You can see a portion of the good-sized crowd at the Community Center in the background. Clearly, there was a good turn out to support this Boy Scout sponsored breakfast.
We also got to enjoy our family, as Mark and Stephanie (our granddaughter) and their two girls drove down from Owatonna to view the parade and enjoy the sweet corn.
Molly, 2, enjoyed the corn and Kitchen Park. And we enjoyed Molly and her little sister, Leah, nearly 1.
Rev. Bauman's Funeral Saturday

Sunday's Cedar Rapids Gazette had the obituary of Rev. Leroy Bauman, one time pastor of the Lime Springs - Chester Methodist Churches.
I can't remember exactly the years he was there, but would guess that it was the early 50s.
His life will be celebrated with services in Cedar Rapids at 1PM Saturday, August 21, at Cedar Memorial Chapel of Memories.
Here's the obituary: http://gazetteonline.com/obits/2010/08/15/bauman-rev-leroy-e

Another graduate of LSHS has passed away: Judy Herron Chadderton of Rochester.
I remember her as a smiling, bubbly, cheerleader for our Lime Springs Comets as well as a fellow bus passenger each day.
Here's how Donna passed the news to me:

I really appreciate it when readers forward info which I might not otherwise be aware of. Thanks, Donna!
A New Experience
Written by Keith Wednesday, 18 August 2010 10:35
This morning, I did something I've never done before: I sat in the living room, reading the morning paper, while someone else mowed our lawn.
Condo living might not be so bad after all!
