This week I went to our Oostburg Public Library “Modern resources, personalized services.”
I have shared my acrostic before, from July 18, 2012. I wrote, Thanks to all who work in libraries and do so much to serve our communities.

Karl and I voted early this week. On Tuesday, we drove to our voting place at the Town Of Holland Sheboygan County – Wisconsin. A clerk was there to receive our absentee ballots. Karl had checked the hours and days open earlier in the week.
We also went to some local stores. This late summer and fall have been busy. Medicare Wellness Visit for me (health conditions stable), the updated COVID booster and senior flu shot for both of us. More appointments next week.
Grateful, and blessings to all.
Ancient Shores Trail at Friends Fishing Pond is part of Kohler-Andrae State Park. The photos are by Karl on June 25, 2020.
Yesterday, we went to a few places and noted work on ash tree removal in our area. Good to see, so the dying and dead trees do not fall on power lines, roads, and properties. We saw crocuses in bloom. Soon there will be more green in the landscape. I love when the trees first begin to have leaves, and later tiny rows of corn growing perfectly in many fields. The landscape will heal from the loss of the trees, because of the Emerald Ash Borer.

How are you changing the world?
My first thought is about small things that add together, and truly make a difference. Some of my small poems to share today.
