Thanks for a great evening!


What a peaceful way, in a time of some conflict, to spend an evening! Thanks to all who participated in Thursday evening's Lucas County Historical Society ice cream social.

To Margaret Coons, first of all, whose sweet music has the power to chase a lot of cares away.


To everyone who attended --- we're estimating 80-100 guests.


And to our board members, staff and volunteers --- represented here by board members/ice cream servers Helen Thompson and Fred Steinbach.

The drought, now broken we hope, has been hard on the gardens; but Kurt Prough was there on Thursday morning to cut two acres-plus of lawn so that at least we were neatly trimmed.

And I found these giant hostas blooming behind the barn, where plants have flourished for some reason despite many hot, dry days.


Our next event will be the Sept. 30 harvest festival, followed by lunch for our volunteers. In the meantime, we're open 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. You'll always be welcome.
