Combines are busy in the grain fields.
Heavily loaded trucks are hauling the kernels to storage, whether it
is on the home farm or at the grain elevators in Preston. It is a
busy time of year. Just a few days ago another crop of hay was in
the harvesting stage and being transported to the best vantage point,
some by a hay wagon and tractor, others with sufficient quantity to
require a semi truck.
The countryside is drying, things are
only green if they are being irrigated, whether that is a field or a
lawn. The whir of the grasshopper wings is heard in the Fall air.
The revolving of seasons is once again taking place.
Stetson Ostler is helping his uncle
Rex Sharp and his grandmother Jody Sharp with the care and training
of race horses. This occupation is winding down a bit with the
starting of school. The family of Stuart and Alona Ostler are also
part of a catering business, Western Dutch Oven Cooking. It is a
mobile business where they travel with their ovens to the event and
the food is prepared close to the site where it will be served.
Alona's parents, Brent and Jody Sharp of Cub River, are part of this
cooking crew. They have magic with the ovens, producing yummy food.
Phee and Robert Crosland took one last
family trip before school got underway. Some of their children had
the wish to retrace a trip taken when they were youngsters to the
Oregon coast. Malia and Jason Kunze and their children of Rigby,
ID, combined with Giovanni and Kristine Crosland and their little
ones from Tremonton, UT, plus newlyweds, Angelo and Gracie Crosland,
and all traveled caravan style to the northwest. They soaked up the
beautiful scenery, enjoyed the beaches of the Pacific Ocean and
various tourist sites while they were camping and having fun
together. Good memories were both relived and made anew.
Crystal Christensen, wife of Jeremy,
and their children came up to spend a few days with his parents, Kim
and Wally Christensen. Jeremy is now employed as an actuary for
insurance for the Nevada State employees. The family lives in Carson
City, NV.
The village is gearing up for the
annual LOTOJA bicycle race, Logan to Jackson, that passes through on
our main street yearly. It will be this coming Saturday. Generally
it happens without incident and residents are given a pass that
enables them to use the local roads while the race is in progress.
One year the weather turned cold and the bikers were caught in snow
at the summit at the top of Strawberry Canyon. Those who organize
and participate have to consider many different possibilities. Bikers
have been making practice runs during the past months in preparation
for this event.
