Interesting temperature change yesterday. Monday night the temperature dropped to 49 degrees, corn doesn't grow much at that temperature. By mid-afternoon the temperature was 87! and it warmed up fast. At noon today we had a light shower of .2", not much but every little bit helps. Weather forecasts suggest some possible rain in the next few days, which is needed badly.
There are always cedars to pursue in the grass. However finding them becomes more difficult as the grass grows. Maybe I should switch to rock picking.
Tomorrow the town's streets will be tarred and rock poured over the tar. That's about as exciting as it gets in Sinai. There was a time when all the streets were gravel. Five miles west of Sinai, U.S. Highway 81 runs from Arlington to Madison (actually from Winnipeg to Mexico City). The section north of Madison is being resurfaced so many semi-trucks now detour through Sinai.

A little poetry, I particularly like the last line.
Things to Think
Robert Bly (born 1926)
Think in ways you’ve never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you’ve ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.
Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
Has risen out of the lake, and he’s carrying on his antlers
A child of your own whom you’ve never seen.
When someone knocks on the door, think that he’s about
To give you something large: tell you you’re forgiven,
Or that it’s not necessary to work all the time, or that it’s
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die.
