Good morning everyone, 6-13-22
We are blessed with a warm summer day. It was 69° this morning and is slightly humid.
I stepped outside the front door of the store and tried to absorb the beauty of the flowers that make up the display against the front of the store. They are beautiful! Then off in the distance, from the trees across the street, the soft, musical song of the Warbling Vireo reaches my ears. Ahh! Summertime!
Summertime also involves work, such as hoeing the garden to keep ahead of the weeds, watering if it doesn’t rain often enough, etc. I think the birds are also working hard to feed their young. I need to fill the Oriole feeder quite often. Besides the 2 kinds of Orioles, the Cardinal, House finch and Mockingbird also come to dine on the jam.
A variety of produce is coming in, including peaches, zucchini, tomatoes, etc.
Events at Mt. Hope include:
- Machinery Sale on June 18th
- Ohio Crippled Children’s Fund auction on June 24th-25th
- Swap Meet on July 15th-16th
