WILD END/BEGINNING--This past Saturday morning our Summer ended wet, wild and windy, as it just poured out here in West Valley and blew a ton of leaves everywhere. While Fall officially came in that afternoon, my calendar said Fall began on Sunday, but that's only because it was the first "full" day, so that's why there was a bit of a difference in announcing the "First Day of Fall" in last week's column. At any rate, by Saturday afternoon, after a brief amount of dryness, we were definitely more soggy than sunny, so for those who like the...

Mary Fleming, MSW, is on a mission to help grieving people. She wants to spread the word about the free bereavement services Community Home Health & Hospice offers. “Grief is personal and people are afraid to reach out for help,” said Fleming. “They may think they are handling it okay.” She has seen grief support group attendees walk away with amazing support and a desire to help others. “You find that there are other people who understand you and can share your grief with you,” said Fleming. It has been just over a year since Fleming vol...

NIPPY--We started this work week with some low lying fog and the air temperature was in the 40s, so definitely on the cooler side. Once the fog lifted, it was a very nice, sunny begining to the week. Pleasant temperatures are supposed to be with us for a few days, like in the low 70s, so until the rain returns on Friday, we should have some nice days to enjoy. Now we can do all those things we forgot to do when it was dry, which we realized that needed to be done, once we went through those few days of rain. We had quite a bit of the wet stuff...

DAMPNESS--We began this past weekend with just a slight bit of wetness falling, and while it wasn't much, it was most welcome. We managed to dry out again on Sunday but then we got some more rain drops on Monday, which really soaked things pretty good. Forecasters say we have more coming our way this week, so I'm sure those with drying up springs and parched lawns will be quite happy, although it will take some getting used to after all the lovely days we've enjoyed. Now if we could only get some decent rainfall amounts over those areas that ar...
I have been told a few times to be careful what you wish for, but I have really been wishing and hoping for rain as my well was nearly dry. Well, I got my wish and now we are flooded in, but I have water in my well. We didn’t really expect 7+ inches overnight, but that’s what we got and I’m okay with not being able to drive out for a day or two.
