Mid-South: August - Ready for the eclipse?

Morning, Everyone! Hope that you are off to a fabulous month!

The eclipse will be on Monday, August 21. We're just outside the total viewing area, unfortunately.

I don't know about you, but my grass is growing much faster than I can keep up with it... The last few mornings have been cool & not so much humidity, but that's about to change again.

If you've been in the flood areas, please check in...
