Elizabeth Woodworth: Time to sneak over to your neighbor's and drop off a load of zucchini

A few black walnut leaves are falling, forecasting the great leaf-drop to come. The dark New Moon is considered favorable for vaccination, surgery and general livestock and people maintenance. Do unto your pets and livestock as your would have someone do unto you. Especially in the heat of August. New Moon, (July 31) and perigee, Aug. 2, so close together and near the average for the first cool wave of August will create turbulent weather. As the moon waxes, set out cabbage, kale and collard sets. Seed the lawn. Don't let your ducklings get heatstroke. If a duck is panting, s/he may have heatstroke. (Countryside)

David Otten: Sanctify your time

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. Mary and Martha were two sisters who knew Jesus, and in Luke 10 we read that Jesus makes a call on them. Their reaction to Jesus is different. Mary wishes to listen to Jesus while Martha's older sister traits kick in and she begins to prepare a meal. Martha grows frustrated with the fact that she is doing all the work while Mary is just sitting there. Martha politely asks Jesus to have Mary help her, but Jesus tells her that she is too anxious about many things and Mary has chosen the "good portion" and it shall not be taken from her.

David Otten: The father-child relationship in prayer

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. For just shy of 2,000 years, Christians of all flavors have prayed the Lord's Prayer. Thomas O'Loughlin author of the book, "The Didache: A Window on the Earliest Christians," writes, "It is one of the few elements in Christians' worship today where one can get widespread agreement (more or less) about what to do or say: at the suggestion that a group recite the Lord's Prayer, most will both agree to the suggestion and be able to say it." (Page 76).

Elizabeth Woodworth: Why is corn supposed to be knee high by the Fourth?

Light frost is only four weeks away along the Canadian border, seven weeks away in the lower Midwest, and 12 weeks away in the South. (By my reckoning that is the first week in September. I hope not, am not yet ready for fall and winter.) In late July the day's length falls below 14 hours. The Sun has entered the Late Summer sign of Leo. In the eastern sky, the stars of the Summer Triangle move into position for Late Summer. The easiest of these three stars to find is Deneb, which is the larger "tail" star of Cygnus the swan (shaped like a large bird in flight, its long neck pointing to the south.) To the right of Deneb lies Vega, the brightest star overhead these nights. The third corner of the triangle is Altair, below and about halfway between the two corners. The nights of July 28 and 29 bring the Delta Aquarids after midnight in Aquarius. This shower can bring up to 20 meteors in and hour. (Countryside) Reminder: The summer lunch program will run through Friday, Aug. 3.
