Civil War In Keokuk Again!

I wonder who will win this year? As usual, along with the Civil War Re-enactment we have rain, heavy rain, and chances of more rain for the weekend. It seems that it always rains on them.
Today is the day all the students get the Civil War tour. I'm in the bus, waiting on the fifth graders from our school to visit all the interesting displays. This is probably the fourth time I've taken this trip with the 5th grade classes, and only one time was the weather nice so that all the activities could take place in the park.



Travis and Dennis have been doing some planting. They've also been working on a culvert that the beavers plugged. Finally, they got it opened up yesterday....just before the rain! Now maybe the fields will drain better. Those nasty little beavers are always causing problems.

Mowing season is in full swing. I've mowed already twice, and it's almost knee high again already.

I must say that the beauty of spring has never looked more beautiful! I don't know if every spring is this pretty, or if it's just such a welcome sight after our long winter. Either way, it is absolutely gorgeous!
