Picts from the Fields ...

Today, our softball team went to the Chamber of Commerce breakfast.  We had 13 varsity players in town and attended along with coaches ... I gave a little run down of the tournament and introduced the players attending.  Former science teacher / coach and now Mayor Rob Cline gave us a plaque and an official day for our team ... I got the official key of Scottsville.  Judge Executive Hobdy gave us a large road state champion sign for our building.  It was a good time and it was good to see several former Patriot Coaches in the crowd.

Tomorrow is the Rotary luncheon.

Afterwards I took our truck to town and got a large load of mulch ... this afternoon mulched several of our flower beds but, will need a lot more.

Bush-hogged this PM and saw my first snake of the year ... a black racer about 3-4 feet long.  I don't think I could out run a black racer.  It zipped along beside the tractor before veering off.  I don't like snakes!

While bush-hogging, I mow around milkweed, especially butterfly weeds (orange below, first with a honeybee)

Also there was a patch of bee balm in the middle of one field ... pale lavender (you know I am color-blind).  It was beautiful and so was spared the bush-hog.  I will try and harvest some seed.
