75 degrees with mostly bright sunshine here in Clarinda, IA at 12:40 pm Tuesday. Forecast for possibly some storms this late afternoon. Had high winds and rain late last week, but did not have tornado right here. Tornadoes in area west of Omaha, and several places here in western Iowa last Friday.
First time I have had bricks blown down. Hard to imagine these blown over--they have stood there for some 10 years.
Picking up branches and twings blown down.
This rather large limb was blown some 35 feet from where it was attached and just missed landing on our metal shop building.
These were all cut into small pieces and thrown over the hedge with a grain scoop.
Yesterday we drove thru St. Joseph, Missouri and then on west to Highland, Kansas were we met our old neighbors in Kenwood for lunch and then on to their place just east of Hiawatha, Kansas for visiting and a few games of Pegs & Jokers.
We delivered a couple cases of liquid Aloe that we had brought from the Rio Grande Valley and Phyllis picked up some flowers for planting when she and LaRhoada went to a green house south of Hiawatha.
One day last week Phyllis went to a lot of work and deep fried some of the 1015 onions into onion rings. These 1015 onions, from the Rio Grande Valley, are even sweeter than the Vidalia Onions that are well known from Georgia.
Phyllis trimming up the rose bush in front of the house.
Phyllis cleaning the ring where peranial flowers have grown for the last 14 years we have lived here.
Trying to keep ahead of the growing grass.
We will go to Marengo, IA this Friday and spend time with the family. Haven't seen them since last October.
At right this was our last Sunday in the Valley at First Methodist Church in Harlingen, TX choir.
