Headwaters Sketchbook — Cicadas buzz-saw through the silence of a sweltering August mid-afternoon.

Time: 2pm
Weather: Hot and muggy, 30 degrees Celsius
It begins:
“The stillness which only mid-afternoon on the fourth day of a heat wave can bring is broken by the penetrating buzz of an electric saw. No, it’s really a dog-day cidada….”

"Hi Jeff and Brandy, I volunteered for four years at the Lighthouse soup kitchen here in town, and made quite a few friends there. Without it, many people would have to just do without. The food bank only gets them so far. We had people coming in and that meal was the only one they would have all day. What's worse is for people who are celiac and have gluten issues. Cheap things given by the food bank are off their list (pasta, bread, oatmeal, etc.). As for starches, rice is pretty much it. My hat is off to you both for making others aware of what they have, and what others don't."
