Thursday is the Family Tree Center

Every Thursday I'm at the genealogy societies library, The Family Tree Center, up in Dixon. I am the VP for the society and I run projects also. I have been Projects Chairman for about 15 years and this year they need a VP so they got stuck with me. I do enjoy genealogy and have gotten a lot done over the years.

Tonight I worked on the index of the Dixon Daily News, 1910-1914. There are almost 100,000 entries in this newspaper index, about 800 pages printed on both sides. I should have it ready for the shelf already but I have been busy with other things....

One of the other tings is the garden. I got 30 plants in this morning, 15 Okra and 15 Sunflowers. I put them in the Grove St. bed. It is along the fence that is along Grove Street, of course. Then I got a second fence up to keep the rabbits out, I hope. I even did some mowing and mulched some of the bed.

It is kind of hard to see them but they are there. The Okra is on the right and the Sunflowers are on the left. The Sunflowers should get to be 3 or 4 feet tall and the Okra 5 to 6 feet.

If it stops raining long enough tomorrow I will get a fence around the garden. I have 15 Kohlrabi, 13 Bell Peppers and 7 tomatoes. All of which I love to eat. There is nothing like eating a fresh picked Bell Pepper. You know, like an apple.

I do like JJ's idea of catching the rabbits and putting them in pens and eat them. Rabbit is good but I don't know how they react to being in a cage. It is better that by buddies idea of feeding them to his snake. And I really don't like shooting them. I shot one last year, no thanks.
