Heading to Custer County, Nebraska

 Time I get another post.  72º here in Clarinda, IA at 3:00 pm Monday.  Got .9" rain with some hail and a lot of wind last evening.


The rain was coming so hard shortly after these small hailstones fell that they quickly melted.





This tree, just 30 feet from the deck, has had a lot of broken limbs in the last few months.  There are several still up there that are broken off but hanging on other branches.  If we have a wind from the south it will be okay, but hope to not have a hard north wind as probably some of it would be on the deck.



This was on the deck a few days ago.  I thought some sheep shearing had gone on.  My head was lighter.



Nancy Willis Cantrell, with whom I graduated in Callaway, Nebraska in 1961, passed away last Friday after battling cancer for several years.  By rough reconing, we have lost about half of our '61 class now.  Her funeral is this Wednesday in Callaway and we are leaving Clarinda in the morning to drive the 300 miles west.  Will attend the visitation that is from 5 to 7 pm and we will be staying in Callaway with Lynn & Sharleen Stivers.  The Stivers' have been neighbors in Kenwood in Texas for many years, though they wre not able to go down last winter.





Some of the flowers Phyllis has around the place.




Later, Lynn
