Years ago, my beloved mother-in-law, Joyce E. Blau, was one of the founders for Scott City's famous Whimmydiddle. I am sure that she would be stunned at just how very popular this event has become! It will be held at the City Park in Scott City on Saturday, September 24th. Don't forget to mark it on your calendar!
I'd like to add just one little thing. We have friends who live close to the park. Every year, they put up with participants of Whimmydiddle parking in their private driveway, in their backyard, and blocking their neighbors' driveways. PLEASE be kind and don't park where you should not be.
Thank you!!!

Recent Observances in Nature
For awhile now, people around here have noticed LARGE swarms of dragonflies. When asked the question, "Is this a natural sign of our upcoming Fall and Winter?", an elder farmer remarked that this means that we will have an early Fall. The lady who had mentioned this on FACEBOOK did some investigation about this in the current Farmer's Almanac. What she learned was that we in this area, should be expecting "a wet and wild winter". I don't know about you, but as far as I am concerned, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!! Much, if not all, of Kansas needs to have a bunch of moisture. This could be the answer to our prayers.
Last weekend, we noticed large groups of yellow butterflies and Monarchs seemingly everywhere. They are on their way to Mexico for the winter. I have never noticed so many of them. On Saturday, we were in Garden City. When we were walking and driving through the Wal-Mart parking lot, we were stunned at how many of the vehicles had yellow butterflies stuck in their automobiles' grills. I have to wonder what all of this means.

Corrigan Brothers' New Hit
Ger Corrigan just sent me this and I could hardly wait to post it here!
You've seen the Corrigan Brothers on my blog several times. They are a famous band in Ireland but are gaining momentum all over the world. They had the seven-million You Tube hit, "There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama" They're at it again with "Arthur's Day in Ollie Hayes Bar".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxN55hG18gM
Arthur's Day honours the remarkable legacy of Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist and the man who in 1759, created the most famous drink in the world.
Ollie Hayes Pub is the world's most famous pub. It can be found in Moneygall, Ireland, the ancestral home of President Obama. The President himself dropped in for Guinness recently and the First Lady poured a few pints of the famous drink.
Enjoy!
