Are you ready for very noisy nights? Trillions of noisy cicadas will soon dig their way out from underground in a massive double brood emergence that won’t happen again until 2245. Two different types of cicadas are emerging; 13 year and 17 year cicadas.
It’s going to be loud, but maybe it will drown out the incessant barking we hear every day, throughout the day and night.
How long does it take a blood cell to do a full circuit through the body?
Woodson County-wide garage and sidewalk sales are this weekend and the Toronto Senior Center is planning a fundraiser on Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20, to provide support to the Toronto Booster Club for Toronto Days 2024.
They will be serving hot dogs and nachos from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., both days during the county garage and sidewalk sales. There will be water, coffee and tea available from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., both days, so plan to stop by and grab a snack, make it a meal, or just to rest your feet and visit for a bit, while you’re out and enjoying the garage and sidewalk sales, and help support Toronto Days 2024.

While outside with Punky the other day, I was thrilled to see all the honeybees on all the little flowers in the yard. I saw several types of butterflies 2 x 5.25 = $68.25
also. The amount of dandelions, Star of David, bluebells, henbit and all the rest, seem to be more of these little flowers this year. And the dandelion blooms are bigger than usual. Some are big as mums.
Sad news and good news for all, Sassy Sister’s closed up and they sold the buildings over the weekend. We hated to see them close, but wish the new owner, Mandy Simon, much success.
Answer: 60 seconds. That’s fast! Kind of hard to envision that, considering we have miles of veins and arteries. But our bodies are magnificent works of fine art.
I heard Wichita set a record for high temp Sunday. It reached 93° at the airport. Broke a record that had been set back in 1933. We’ve had enough cold weather, until this winter, but I am not sure we are ready for 90°+ days yet. It’s still April!!
