--000000000000b6f41a0604286fc0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT This afternoon, near my home, with sprinkles of rain falling, I spent 40 minutes walking a mile RT past the 2-3 foot high soybean crop where sicklepod was growing along its edges and even amongst the soybeans. Beyond the soybeans are some acres reminiscent of the old field of dreams, several years ago when it was an abandoned field without soybeans, or any other crop. With the very light rain,some butterflies were starting to hide in the thicker vegetation, but many were still flying and visiting the wild lavender and other wildflowers- 5 Cloudless Sulphur 31 Sleepy Orange 1 Gulf Fritillary 1 Pearl Crescent 1 C.
