FROM SILVER HILL

Okay, okay, I am ready for this summer to be over. At least it has cooled somewhat, but not enough yet, and the nights are cooler for us at our altitude. But I do get tired of the hot weather, and am ready for it to be over. I love the mild days and cool evenings and at least it is better here than back in Indiana where I can still remember the humidity and the cold snowy and rainy winters.
But even with the hot summers, I’ll take Arizona, cool, rain and all. I think the best part of Arizona for me is the mountains and the beautiful scenery, the creeks bubbling along and all the wildlife. I noted in a story in the daily paper that the bighorn sheep have recovered from their scarcity – and I know this is true in the mountains in eastern Arizona around Clifton, Morenci and the Blue Mountain area. If you drive over to Morenci and on up the Coronado Trail you will have a very good chance of seeing them and that is a treat.
Now I just want to say a note about the Gila County Fair. When we lost our state funding, little did we dream at how much everyone would come through this year in helping us have a good fair. BUT, I need to add that I really knew that our community would come through for us – it is that kind of place.
When Guy and I retired, people asked us if we were moving to the mountains, and my standard answer was, “Why would we?” Globe is such a great place and the people are friendly, Everyone helps when help is needed and there just is nothing better.
I am going to make my column short this week because I think I have said it all.
Thanks – all of you.
