Wasn't that a fabulous full moon show last night and early this morning? With farmers out in force harvesting, there's a lot of dust in the air, which intensifies the moon and sun rises and sets. (Not well stated.)

No big news this post. I revised my letter to the editor drastically and sent it in. Waiting now.

Started (restart) adding more bricks to my driveway. The chimney of the old one room school house down the road fell down, so I gathered firebricks, mortar and all.

Had to sign a bunch of papers to renew my CRP prairie grass contract for the next 10 years. They've raised their payouts from $110/ac to $210/ac. That'll be $685 per year, just to keep 3.3 acres out of crop production.

And, I started college funds for Emily's two kids--$1000 ea. The state has a good tax break plan--20% deduction on each thousand.

Going "cemetery searching" today with my sister on our way to see Emily and my grandchildren (Nate's at the farmers market). Should be nice weather. By the way, my father continues to survive and thrive (at nearly ninety-five). I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Have a good weekend.
