Around Town … 09/10/26
By Marcella S. Meeks
Greetings, Friends and Neighbors…
September has never been my favorite month of the year for some odd reason. But neither has any month in the fall. Everything seems to be drying up. All the tress around the neighborhoods are shedding leaves. The grass has went from lush green to dried up remnants of green and weed-looking stuff that is ugly and dehydrated. My favorite time of year is Spring (March, April, May and June).
Our weather is also unpredictable, especially in the South. In times past, there have been very hot September days (as it is now) and then there were Septembers were very cool. I remember September 1975 very well. On the 23rd of September of that year, it felt like 40% degrees outside in East Texas. The days of summer were coming to an end. I remember attending a funeral service that particular day in 1975 and how everyone was dressed for colder weather. A few days before, it had been hot.
Today, on the 10th (2026) it is 94 degrees in East Texas. When will hot days of summer be ending now? It’s strange how unpredictable weather can be, especially in the fall.
But as some say, it is what it is! Not sure what that is supposed to mean exactly but I think you get the point!
There’s not much going on in Logansport right now. We’re under a burn ban. With everything all dried up like it is, I can definitely see why the burn ban is in effect. A fire in these woods would be hard to contain – putting it out would be next to impossible.
We’ve had a little rain this month but not as much as we need or want! But we’ll gladly take what get.
I finally had to replace my bed. I twas old and uncomfortable. I wasn’t sure what bed to get because I have a bad back. I know the pillow top mattresses don’t work for me. Someone told me about a memory foam mattress. They said that the doctor had recommended the memory foam. So I figured I’d try it. I have an Amazon account so I done the research and found this particular mattress … Sweetnight CoolNest 14 Inch California King Mattress, Cooling Memory FoamCool Night Sleep, 5-Zone Ergo Support for Pressure Relief, Enhanced Breathability, Medium Feel, CertiPUR-US Certified. I have slept so good every night since I got my new bed. I almost didn’t get it from Amazon but I saved shipping and handling and 15% because I do have an account. But getting the rest I need is more important to me than anything. It works for me.
That’s about it for this post but I’ll add more when I get a chance.
Stay Tuned for New Updates!
