Yesterday I returned to ACA after a week of out of town work, and lo and behold it was only 68 degrees at 1:45pm! I'm sorry I missed the coolest of days earlier, but I have had an unusually busy month and working out of town far more than I've been on the mountain. In large part that's why I've been a bit 'silent' with the blog, as little to no information has come my way.
Of the things I had to miss was the Annual Meeting two weeks ago. As yet I've not heard anything directly about that meeting except that it lasted about an hour, the nominated board was elected in the voting, but the three proposed by-laws changes did not pass due to lack of enough proxies/votes. Those are really important things, those proxies...even if you can't be present, I hope you would send in your vote to a person of your choosing. They DO matter. I'm supposed to meet up with Keith Patton soon (member of the new board), so I'm sure I'll have more to share shortly.
From time to time individuals here take their own time and energy, and sometimes money, to do some upkeep in ACA. In order for me to acknowledge those random acts of thoughtfulness, someone has to let me know, or I have to see it for my own eyes. Too, I think it's important to express our gratitude for caring about this neat mountain community.
Today, I saw. (Name withdrawn) did a SIGNIFICANT amount of weed-eating around the double hairpin curves, that sorely needed tending. THANK YOU, (name withdrawn), for your efforts! Plenty of roadside vegetation is awaiting the same fate if anyone else feels so led to do a little trimming. Soon enough, cold temperatures will kill back a lot of it, but that is some time away.
And can I get an 'hooray' for a run of dry days and zero rainfall????!!! Hard to believe Labor Day is less than a week away. I'm still wondering where spring went, much less summer...
