"Road Closed?

Sunday, August 12, 2012. A gym class - I think that's who the kids were - ran past my house this week: another sign that summer is winding down.


I'm not sure how long that tree's been down. This is on the west edge of what real estate ads called a "lake," a decade or so back. In fairness, it's really wet land, and has flooded. August 11, 2012.


Yes: that is a "road closed" sign. I suppose it's a good idea, for the benefit of folks who might not notice the orange tubs and concrete barriers? That's the corner of South 4th and Main. August 11, 2012.

There's been quite a bit of street work being done, which is par for the course in this season. It's mostly been a matter of scraping down the old asphalt a bit, adding a new layer, and painting appropriate lines on the new asphalt.

Fundraiser, Photos, and Discrete Frogs

Sunday, August 5, 2012. I don't have much to say about Sauk Centre this week, but do have some photos.


Casino Night is a major fundraiser for Holy Family School. The sign is in Our Lady of Angels' parking lot. August 1, 2012.


St. Paul's spire, trees: a street scene in Sauk Centre. August 1, 2012.


Garden decorations: a couple of discrete frogs. August 1, 2012.


Garage sales, and signs pointing to them: a sort of summer tradition. August 5, 2012.

It's still a dry summer, although a thunderstorm got around to leaving water while roaring through town.
