4-H and Relic Hunting

I have added several new pictures of "Wildflowers" to the Blog from this spring.
Yesterday, I had the privilege to judge the 4-H wood projects at the District Competition.  It was good to see what these young people had constructed from wood. 

The other day we were riding over the property and my grandson wanted to look for artifacts left behind on the railroad bed from about 100 years ago.  His dad assisted him with the discoveries of old spikes, bolts, and other metal pieces. 
It is so good for my grandson to be able to explore the outdoors.  That is what being a boy is all about.  Before we looked for artifacts we panned for gold in the branch.  We found some small specks but no large nuggets.  Maybe next time!
