Good Morning,

Don't forget bingo on Friday night at 7 -- you can join us anytime before intermission at 8:15 and still play the coverall game.... or join us anytime after for a few games of fun. Cards are 10 cents each and all money is given out the same night. You don't have to play bingo to come for the snacks! Just drop by.... Coffee and tea on the house.

Come have fun.

*Fishing Report--
  The water is 75°F as of 7/21 and is a tad below normal, although the rain we had and the rain we are supposed to get shouyld bring it up some. Bill has been having some great luck catching Bass right down off the dock. Seems they are biting and the fishing is great! Keep me posted if you get down there and have some luck. Thanks

*Gardening Report--
Things are looking good for the grass and gardens! It is perfect for getting some good summer fertilizer down and to make sure things are getting enough water. In the Summer heat it doesnt take long at all for the flowers and shrubs to seem to wilt after a hot spell.  If you water in the heat of the day be sure to use enough to counter the evaporation!  A small watering will mostly evaporate and leave nothing for the plants! Please feel free to ask for advice if you want to start planning a project. For some good information about what to do in your Garden right now, try the Current Garden Tips link at the bottom of this report. They seem to have great tips on what you can be doing in your garden right now and it is set for our location too!

*Wildlife--
 A quick walk to the river can be rewarding if you like to see ducks, Blue Heron and maybe even a Canadian Goose.  Keep your eyes peeled and your cameras at ready, as I would love pictures of wildlife to add to the page!
