We spent the day yesterday in Poplar Bluff. Andy's team had two games.
It was a windy day, but overall, it was a beautiful day for a ball game.
If you squint, you might be able to see Andy out in left field in the first picture. The second picture shows him in his usual position in the dugout while his team is at bat...
Elizabeth and Isaac went along and were wonderful, considering the limited things to do and the length of time spent just waiting! Here's Elizabeth with Woody, who tags along about everywhere.
We decided it was about time to get serious about gardening, so we had our good friends the Hickles over for dinner and asked their advice about how to get started. Not only did they give us good advice; they lent us a tiller to break some ground -- even delivered it to our house! Dan got home from appointments a few hours later and went right to work breaking the ground -- just in time, since the next day we had a big rain! Now we start the gargantuan task of making it soil fit for growing things -- it just ain't Illinois dirt!
Every farmer needs willing helpers -- 2 of the cutest ones around!
