Rain in Clarinda Iowa this last week

 76º here in Clarinda, IA at 7:00 pm Sunday.  Received one-half inch rain overnight and one inch of rain overnight the night before and rain several nights before that, but forget the amounts..  Little muggy, but imagine all the row crops are soaking it up.

Phyllis' classmate Nancy Tarrant-Schauerte and her husband Jim Schauerte spent the week with us and got to see the art museum, the Nodaway Valley Museum and the Glenn Miller Birthplace Museum while here as well as attend the gathering Wedensday noon and supper at Bruner's Thursday evening.

They headed out Friday morning for the 8 or so hour drive to their home in Chicago.

I found this very interesting about Jimmy Stewart.

These photos are from the gathering of the Clarinda High School Class of 1962 at Bruner's here in Clarinda Thursday evening for supper.

At right is our container garden and below is some of the produce from it.

I posted when our 10-year old Granddaughter Jessica was with us several weeks ago.  I ran across this picture probably from about 2017 when she was a bit smaller.

Will sign off for now.

Phyllis' High School Class of 1962, Clarinda 64th year gathering

 88º with a "feel like" of 101º here in Clarinda, IA at 2:45 pm on Thursday.  We were on very south side of a big rain storm that went through in the night, heard some thunder and saw lightning, but not enough rain to make bottom of rain gauge wet.

Tuesday night ate at the local Mexican Restaurant - El Sarape - with Jim & Nancy Schaurte from Chicago and Nancy Fleck Scott from here in Clarinda.

Eating in our "a few times a year used" dining room.

All photos below are

from gathering Wednesday morning/noon at 

the Garrison House here in Clarinda of 

Clarinda High School Class of 1962.

Warm, muggy Iowa weather

 85º with a "feel like" of 95º here in Clarinda, IA at 3:00 pm Monday.  Dumped 1/2 inch of rain from gauge this morning.  Humidity remains high.  Crops do look good in this area.

Well, what can we get into here.........haven't been doing a lot.

Took some pictures of the flowers......the photos never look as bright as it does in real life.

I drove down to the farm and looked things over.  There were some trees on the right of way of Highway 71 that they cut down, but didn't bulldoze out last winter like they did on our side of the fence, so I cut them back with the chain saw a little and put Tordon on the bark layer to kill the stumps.

This is on the road to the east side of the 80,

Book I just finished

I just finished reading the 4th book of Peggy Rowe's.  She is mother to Mike Rowe that does a lot of the voices behind the Discovery Channel programs and had, for years, the "Dirty Jobs" searies.

Have read these earlier books - some are in Texas

Awaiting today one of Phyllis' classmates from Chicago who, with her husband, will be staying with us until Friday.  Their 1961 class is having a get together this Wednesday.

Well, there you have it.  Nothing too exciting going on here right now.
