On the trip over, we saw a baby black bear looking adorable bobbling and running after its mother into the woods. It was a special moment to lock eyes with this young beautiful creature.

Once at SAFF, we loaded up the trailer with some supplies and the cooler to keep the Scion wood cold while we worked. We were able to get about 13 done yesterday with 30 left to do. We added 4 Tallahatchie, 2 Rappahanock, 1 Nyomis Delicious, 4 Rebecca’s Gold and 2 Kentucky Champions. Amazingly, we didn’t see any ticks. They’ve been pretty active this year. We felt lucky to avoid them yesterday. Especially being down in the waterway and the clonal colony where it is most humid.

On the way back home, we saw an even smaller baby bear toddling after its mother into the woods. 😀
