Can’t beat this nice weather we’ve been having, but we do need rain desperately.  Some reports say we may get rain during the week, but we’ll have to wait and see.  We’ve had some really cool mornings and evenings, but during the day it warmed up nicely.   The leaves are falling off the trees so doesn’t look like a lot of nice color this year.  It can change, but doesn’t seem likely.  Well, we just take what Mother Nature sends us.  We can be thankful that it’s not as bad as those that are getting the bad storms and fires.  Saw quite a few turkeys in the Church yard.  There were 4 nice buck that walked through the yard to the cemetery on Thursday and then one doe, all alone, on Friday.  They hadn’t been around for some time, so was nice to see.  I’m sure the hunters will keep an eye on them for when hunting season comes up.

Deepest sympathy to the Burke family on the passing of Lisa recently.   Great lady and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

When baking anything that has raisins in it and you don’t want them to sink to the bottom…put the raisins in the top of your flour sifter before adding the flour to the mixture.  Then put the flour coated raisins in your batter and they will not sink to the bottom during baking.  (I’m going to try this with chocolate chips as they always sink to the bottom when I make chocolate zucchini bread.)

I hear there is another Covid strain going around and hope no one is affected by it.  Hope you’re all feeling well and those that are a “little under the weather”, I hope you get well very soon. 

Happy Birthday wishes to Tom Finan, 25th; and Ted Beaver, 27th.  Hope you both have a nice day.

Happy Anniversary to Dustin and Sam Burke as they celebrate on the 28th.  Congratulations and enjoy your day.

There are still some events going on around the County you may be interested in.  Check the Sully for those things that might “spark your interest”.

It seems there is always something going on in Sullivan County.

I guess I’ll close for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans might be.  If you have news you’d like me to report, give me a call at 570-928-9238; USPS me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading, and the comments.  I’ll be here next time.
