Summer Fest

Strong winds are blowing in from the west As dark storm clouds gather overhead, Threatening our celebrated Summer Fest. Thunder and lightning increase the dread Special events will need to be canceled, Months of planning could not see ahead. A stage for musical acts has been disabled Disappointment reigns throughout town The city planners are feeling very unsettled, The revelers are simply feeling let down. Written June 23, 2022

This often happens; such disappointment! Our school's field day this year was cancelled.

Yes, it is. I always hated getting all excited and then let down by a cancellation.

It happens so often Milton, The Old Murphy's Law. It is so dissappointing when we neglect to include Mother Natures input in our plans. She has the last say, unfortunately. Blessings...

So true. I just hate to see all the time and effort which goes into something like this wasted. It's so disappointing on so many levels, but you are right; Mother Nature generally has the last say.

They will live to go another day. It's too risky with bad weather. Hope you're doing ok.
