Peaches

Last year we had an ice storm in spring that left no blossoms on the tree, this year it seems to have made up for it.

Memorial Day Weekend Katy Days

 I spent Sunday over in Parsons Kansas at "Katy Days".  Parsons is sort of a railroad town here in SE KS, folks get together and celebrate on Memorial Day some of that heritage. The Katy comes from the Railroad company that went through most often, The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway. Sunday saw a warm morning and good turn out for the events. A religious service, prayer, barbershop quartets singing gospel, speeches dedicated to our servicemen and women, and families sitting in the shade.

Buffalo burgers, onion blossoms, the aroma of good barbecue, among the food vendors. 

Tractor rides.

Scenic Sunday

 I took a ride south the other day, stopped at Natural Falls State Park. West of Siloam Springs Arkansas its worth a stop.

 You can hike one of several trails, one of which "Dripping Springs Trail leads to this beautiful spot.
