The Patoka River in Winslow is below the half full mark and in less than a week the Clog the Patoka will be happening, but if the water doesn't rise again then the floaters will not be able to use the items that have to be aired up. So we all pray for more rain so all the floaters can use their own inner tube, pirate ship, a pizza pie and more. We did have rain for two days, but we only registered 1/2 inch of rain. It has been hot, humid, a heat advisor y from July 4 to July 7, temps in the high 90s and a heat index of 107-115. With three days of weather awareness, our nights have been in the 70s. The white topped flow- ers along the roadways are called Queen Ann's Lace and they are still in bloom with our other wild flowers. The three Rose-of-Sharons are in bloom with purple, pink and white. Some lilies are about to loose their blooms, but other lilies of orange are in bloom. Mornings are cheerful when you hear the birds sing, the owl call out at nighttime and the coyotes yell, then see an opossum that can run when scared, the fireflies light up the area t night and the drag- onfly on the walkway. I have seen black, white and blue and white in other areas. From all the storms that blew down limbs or broke of f par ts of trees, we had a big pile of limbs to burn. So Norm went out and set it on fire and he was right there to rake around this big pile until it was burnt enough to leave a dome of ashes. The flames I saw were red and yellow and one flame was tall, shooting straight up. Then I saw a smaller flame do the same thing. It wasn't too long and he had the ashes cleaned up and ready to pile on more limbs. This is a great summer for ice cream ever y day to keep cool. One day we got shakes of banana and strawberr y with real fruit mixed in and another time the ver y cherr y chip was tasty too. I had to get home- made ice cream at Otwell on the Fourth. Winslow looked great for the Fourth of July weekend with flags hung for three blocks on Main Street and the ditches were mowed for the Fourth. Some yards had flags and other decorations, but the town that had flags on ever y street was Alfordsville and they even had the park decorated in prism stars and little flags all along the drive up to the shelter house that was trimmed with stars and flags also. Last Saturday the second was the Open Fun Horse Show and since it was hot I brought a wash cloth to wet and keep me cool. Mom al- ways had a wet cloth if the temp was high. Back to the Horse Show--there were a lot to compete in many events of obstacles and they all had fun. The Winslow Lions Club ser ved food and drinks. We had to pug some hot dogs and brats on hamburger buns until we ran out of buns. We tried to fin any type of buns or bread and none could be found. Winslow had fireworks at Miller's Field by the Eagles and American Legion that lasted 1/2 hour of beautiful colors in the sky with oohs and aahs, claps and yells. The Deep Woods was a bit hit also. There was also a bank that started playing some great songs all the way up to when the fireworks started. We also heard some areas in town shooting some fireworks smile we all watched the big colors light up the sky. Fourth of July fireworks that we saw in Alfordsville lasted 1/2 hour of beautiful colors in the sky with a mis- hap of colors on the ground. Thankfully, no one was hurt. We all clapped because it did look impressive to see in what directions the mishap would travel. Both had a dif ferent type of fireworks, but the various colors and curly Q's with sparkler type bursts were a hit. Hope you all had a great day on the Fourth weekend to cel- ebrate our County's birthday of 246 years. The November 2022 elec- tions in the town of Winslow will be the time to vote for the people we think will ser ve the citizens. There are six stars for Town Council and one star for Clerk-Treasurer. I believe decide to have three or six Town Council mem- bers. Good luck to all who will r un for a Winslow town office. I'm looking for ward to hearing from stars who are new (to me) citizens in our town of Winslow. A laid back, down home feel and stars who are proud to live and raise a family in a friend- ly area. As the lights begin to dim on this week, keep your eye on family and friends; slow down and enjoy your area; wear your mask in crowds or inside to keep others safe; as always smile, wave and say hi to ever yone you see this week. .
