At 1:20 in the afternoon

it's 78.6 degrees!

1909 - 2009

The "Ocean to Ocean" Endurance Race!"




Yesterday afternoon fifty-five Model T Fords - one from each state and five from other countries - came through town heading northward. This morning, after spending the night in Utica, they reversed course.


Some stopped at Stewart's or Nice 'n Easy before continuing their journey.

Today, alone - 232 miles at about 40 MPH.



Westward, Ho!

Click the image to read all about them and see where they're going!

Early in May, Rusty sent a super photograph of a pair of Bluebirds in Brookfield. This is the last of their chicks to leave the nest.

Here in Whiskey Hollow, Jody Hildreth was back on his twelve-foot stepladder, yesterday afternoon.



Now there's a Vireo baby in the nest, too!




... and another Vireo egg, but it looks as if the Cowbird mother may have intentionally damaged it to keep it from hatching.



Mother Vireo has brought a lovely little green worm for the two babies.



Yum!



She seemed to turn and look directly at Jody as if to ask, "Would you like one, too?"
