Loring/Affinity News for Wednesday, July 17, 2024

The weather has been the main topic around Affinity and I’m sure the residents in Loring were talking about the heat, also!

I was shocked yesterday when former president Trump had an attempt on his life. Just too many shootings in our country!

Pete and Carol Lumsden celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary with their family at the lake this last weekend. Congratulations!

I taught a group of residents watercolor painting on Saturday.

This time everyone painted a barn, and they turned out very nice!

I’m house/dog sitting for a while as David and Brandie are vacationing in Europe. They’ll pick Rocco up in Germany somewhere! Rocco is on a school trip. I’m just here in Billings!

Two nights in a row we had huge lightning and thunderstorms!

But we also got some rain which helped my little farm of tomatoes. I harvested five cherry tomatoes, but they were gone before I got back to my apartment!

Rodney said it was similar to that in Loring. The swathers are cutting the hay now and letting it dry a little before baling. The hay looks good! And so do the calves!

The fundraiser for Steven Johannesen was a success at the North 40. Steven had another big surgery this week to start more skin grafts.

Until next week, enjoy the summer birds, flowers, and clouds!
