Another week closer to the first day of summer or as some like to put it, the longest day of the year and then the days start to get shorter. I don’t like to think of the days getting shorter. Summer is too short as it is! My glass is half full!
We did manage to get some rain this past week, but if the garden is any indication, we could use more. There was some hail with the system that came through last Friday and some damage. Hope it wasn’t too devastating. Other than that the crops look great!

Our deepest sympathies to Bruce and Kate McCann and their family for the loss of Bruce’s dad Vic, who passed away on June 4, 2018 in Colorado. It’s always hard to lose a parent, no matter what the age. Blessed be the memory of Victor McCann.

Thought for the week: When God pushes you to the edge, trust Him fully, because only two things can happen. Either He will catch you when you fall or He will teach you to fly. Have a good week!
