Next edition Dec 19th -25th

Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. Please note that due to the Christmas and New Year’s holidays I will have early deadlines so I will need any news by the 22nd and the 29th.

The weather during the past week has been very cold with -0 temps almost every day, thankfully there has not been much wind to go with it and just a few inches of snow on the ground in this area. I took a different route home last week and saw that there were still a couple of cornfields in the area left to be picked.
