Another hot dry summer week, when will the rain return. Fireweed tall and bright in the park the last several weeks. Legends say that when the top blossom of the fireweed blooms summer is over. Berries are nice and ripe, but nobody has mentioned all the tasty thimble berries that are out, although it seems like some critter sure has been enjoying the cherries! Don't forget that there is a chance to help Mission Creek stay healthy and beautiful this August 1st at the Fir street Entrance. Postings about the volunteer workday are posted in the park...See you there.

-I Like Cheese
Sometimes I sneeze
But not before I wheeze
Sometimes people jump or say they're in a slump and don't like the speed bump
Thump...Thump...Thump...
PEACE
