Forecast says we can get rain this Sunday. How many are going to be like me and get some seed in the ground? I really need to get some cover crops started, as well as over seed my lawn. So Saturday I hope to be scattering some seeds in hope that Sunday’s rain will get them growing.
We have not lost any livestock since adding guardian dogs to our homestead. They are so sweet and greet me at the gate every evening. Lately they have been barking all night long, but I have noticed several neighbors’ dogs are also barking, so with this fall weather moving in I am assuming so are predators.
With cooler temperatures we have been able to get out and do more yard cleanup. The area around Jenny’s General is getting some needed attention. Cut back a lot of weed trees and sorted the debris from the greenhouse teardown between dump items, metal and pressure-treated wood the dump won’t take.
When the burn ban is lifted, we will be doing some burning, but also thinking of investing in a chipper to turn some of these weed trees into wood chips for our landscaping.
Have you driven past the EVFD lodge hall and noticed the work being performed? Dave Dial spent days scraping off old paint and then reapplying a fresh coat. Sunday afternoon a group of volunteers was there working on the building.
From what I understand new windows will be installed. It is getting a well-deserved facelift. Now if only someone would donate energy-efficient split units to heat and cool it so it can be used year-round.
Please continue to support ongoing activities such as by Kendrick Memorial Baptist Church’s yard sale, held most Saturdays starting at 8 a.m. Address is 5152 Ala. Hwy. 9 in case you haven’t noticed it driving on Highway 9. Elaine Rutledge of Nixburg hosts Rummikub at the Alexander City Senior Center in the Sportplex every first and third Friday starting at 10 a.m.
This month’s Neighborhood Watch meeting is on the fourth Thursday, October 23, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please plan on joining for safety information, community fellowship and a great meal that Dave Dial provides for the community, that you can donate toward if you like.
Save the date for the last Saturday in October, the 25th, as EVFD Bingo will return from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Lots of fun and prizes with proceeds supporting our wonderful volunteer fire department.
I depend upon my readers to share with me what is happening within your organizations, churches, neighborhoods, groups, or family to share in next week’s column. Please contact me; leave a voice message or text 256-531-6460 or email at coosacafe@gmail.com.
