Windy Wilson was on the prowl, this beautiful Independence Day morning, searching the neighborhood for something to do for others. He decided to let his weekly day helping others come on the Fourth this week, because he was feeling very American.

Let’s see … he thought … I can circumlocute over to Mrs. Hennessey’s and see if her flower garden needs weeding. She’s got very close veins and the sugar diabeets, and getting around ain’t easy.

Have your kiddos participated in the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Lincoln Early Childhood Council (CKLECC) Fun Tote Program yet?  If not, you don’t want them to miss out on the Summer Fun Tote Program.    The program is a fun and educational opportunity for children ages 0-8.  The program promotes the importance of early childhood development and interaction between children, parents, caregivers and siblings. 

After weeks of little movement for the drought monitor, ongoing hot, dry conditions in northwest Colorado moved a large portion of that part of the state back into abnormally dry conditions – the lowest drought category.

Temperatures mainly in the 90s will continue to blanket much of eastern and western Colorado Saturday, along with scattered thunderstorms to hint at annual monsoon moisture to come a little later in the summer.
