Blackberries are blooming with white flowers against a background of a pasture, tree line and blue sky.
Black walnut flowers droop under a clump of leaves amongst mostly bare tree limbs.
A small grove of black locusts is in full bloom.
Close up of a black locust flower.
Today’s blooms come from the black family of plants. We’ve got blackberries, black walnut and black locust.
A dark snake about 3 feet long is curled up in some clover and fescue.
A closer view shows the white chin of the snake and eyes looking straight at the camera.
Today’s critter is a (Black Racer) SNAKE IN THE GRASS!!!! They’re more active in the daytime compared to other snakes and so like this one, more likely to be seen.

Dandelions in a yard showing flower stalks all twisted up in a yard in west Kentucky.
Good news, bad news. The only good rhongabout the herbicide drift is it hit the dandelions too. Bad news is that after a mowing the dandelions don’t care.
April 3 - they’re all twisty.
April 11 - they’re all fine as expected. Dandelions will shake off drift. My tomatoes didn’t.
Here’s this morning’s sunrise. Turn the volume up and you can hear a turkey gobble.
Today’s critters are once again Wild Turkeys. These boys were in the neighbors corn residue with at least a couple of hens. I don’t hunt and don’t know if this a lot but the Boss seems to have a beard close to dragging the ground. Spring season opens April 18.
Or not quite clockwise. I trust you’ll figure it out.
On what my grandparents called the Niagara - Hebbardsville road (416).
A white black cherry flower
Maple samaras are hanging on limbs with a couple of barns in the background.
Pecan catkins are drooping on a branch.
Apple flowers are in the upper right, a very good 70 lb black dog is the middle and blooming blueberries are in the back.
Here’s some of the stuff that’s blooming today in Henderson County KY. Clockwise from upper left
Black cherry
Silver maple
Pecan
Apple with Mia and a blueberry bush.
Today’s critters are the vanguard of a herd of Whitetail Deer coming out of the Lick Creek bottoms. There were at least six more that came out in the shadows later. I’m sad the field they’re in was recently sprayed and there’s nothing to eat but I’m worried they’ll come eat my baby trees.
I would guess that travel to some countries after leaving office might be risky.
And here’s the sunset 20 minutes later showing the woods he was in. 2/2
Today’s critter is a Woodpecker. Nothing to see in the video but turn the volume up and hear how good a tree maybe 2-300 yards away he found to drum. Did 5-6 drums about 30 seconds apart and I managed to catch next to last one. 1/2
It’s a farmer. I’m in a very rural area.
An apple tree with twisty leaves that appears damaged by a group 4 herbicide.
Tomatoes with twisty leaves that appear damaged by herbicide drift.
A lilac bush with twisty leaves that appears damaged by herbicide drift.
Remember how proud I was about my starts awhile back? Guess what? I get to start them again. A neighbor gave the annual spring dose of herbicide drift. I am so tired of this. This is the third formal complaint I’ve filed in the last few years. And i could’ve filed many more earlier.

Nope. Claustrophobic.
A small bit of rainbow with flowering dogwoods along a road in southeast Henderson County KY. A recently constructed pole barn is in the foreground.
View from the backyard tonight. Baby rainbow, dogwoods and the new pole barn.
Dogwoods are flowering along a leaf covered track in the understory of a west Kentucky woods.
Mayapples have sprouted in a west Kentucky woods.
Back in Devil’s Garden, the dogwoods are blooming and the mayapples have sprouted. According to Wikipedia, all parts of the mayapple are poisonous.
A brown thrasher is underneath a bird feeder and two northern mockingbirds. A recently tilled backyard garden is in the background.
Today’s critter is a Brown Thrasher with bonus Mockingbirds on the feeder. Don’t see thrashers often but if I do, it’s usually this time of year. They eat June/Japanese beetles, many grubs and caterpillars, grasshoppers wireworms and other no good (one g) bugs. Wish they were around more often.

Want to thank all the taxpayers out there. Just got my free money of almost $1000 for my 1/3 (22.4 A) of the Jones Bros Rd acres.
Here’s my formula for free money
1 - choose your grandparents well
2 - have your mom outlive her 3 sisters
3 - have both of your sisters pass on the farm
Nice harvest of asparagus spears
Two asparagus spears are in a mulched flower bed in front of blooming tulips
Four more spears in the flower bef
How about today’s asparagus harvest? Evansville goes to 86, breaks its record by 5 F and they shoot up. I’m especially proud of the volunteers in the front porch flower bed.
A bluebird box on a fence post.
A blue egg in the box.
Today’s critters are the backyard Eastern Bluebirds. Momma has her first egg of the spring.
I would go if I could piss on his grave.
Today’s critters are the Wild Turkey flock. Apparently they’re not fond of helicopters. Apologies for leaving KSR on.
Had to be military jets flying over this evening if they’re this close together. And then one turned right. Stay to the end of the video for Mia’s cameo.
