Stroll

We had a nice 1.5 inch rain the end of last week. It was just what the crops needed for relief from the extremely hot, humid weather we have been experiencing. The heat has really hastened the development of the corn crop especially, and an early harvest is probable. This rain should be enough to finish the crop.

This evening the humidity was much lower than it has been and the temperature was around 81 degrees. The old farmer took his wife out to eat at the Mexican restaurant in Washington and afterwards we drove to the town cemetery (Glendale). We had a very pleasant stroll around the paths looking at the old tombstones and stopping at the graves of old neighbors, landlords, and friends. We walked in the shade of the big old trees and enjoyed the slight breeze.

It was peaceful and beautiful out there this evening.

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
