The coons visited my corn patch Thursday night. Luckily, I picked some a couple evenings before. I have been pickling my yellow zucchini squash and cucumbers. I only have four Jet Star tomato plants and they are loaded — some quite large. I dug out my potatoes and onions. My cantaloupes bloom and bloom but never set on fruit.
Josh Braden of Windom spent from Saturday noon until Sunday evening with his grandparents, Junior and Jeanetta Hanschu. Junior and Jeanetta took him as far as Hillsboro Sunday evening to the home of Jayson and Jan Hanschu where Josh's mother, Jennifer Braden, picked him up. While Josh was at his grandparents' house, Jeff and Jennifer went out to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.
Alex and Jean Stuchlik are looking forward to this weekend in Wilson when the Czechs have a big annual celebration. Lots of Czech food is served and sold. Alex Stuchlik and other accordion players get together on a trailer and play all day long. They park the trailer under trees in the shade while they play the good ol' polka music.
