Fall comes trickling in

- .7 today -
You are all welcome for the surprise rain this morning. We used our strongest medicine to draw it here, you know, leaving the vehicle windows down and a sack of seed in the back of the pickup. Just imagine what we would have conjured if I had left clothes on the line.

I'm putting the open times of a few places I've needed lately in the right-hand column. I thought they might come in handy for some of you. For phone numbers, you can click on these links: 
The Country Store 
Roby Drivers License Office
Hobbs Cafe
You might have to sign in to facebook to see the Hobbs Cafe link.

I was listening to a radio program (a podcast), and the hosts were talking about a book they were reading, some kind of psychology - theology - philosophy volume, and the author's basic idea was that everyone wants to be loved, and that is the driving force of humans. I have personally come to the conclusion that we all want to be relevant, with our family, at our job, in our community. When we are no longer relevant, we lose our zest for life or become anxious. Or, maybe we can learn to be comfortable living alone, although even then one might have animals who finds one relevant. That might be enough to sustain the soul.

I am certainly looking forward to next week when fall finally peeks its little head around our corner of the world. I've lived in this spot for over fifty years, but I still get fooled every year into thinking autumn is closer at hand than it really is, then becoming completely worn out by summer temperatures. Hold on to that thought, it won't be too long before I'll be crying for summer, again!
