The MCC Rebel Baseball team is off to a good start this season with a 4-1 record heading into a tough game on Tuesday.

Edgerton Southwest Christian was 5-1 entering the game and had picked up a 9-8 win on Monday against Adrian Ellsworth. MCC would come through with another tough win on Tuesday night.

And then our yard has dandelions too. Soon we will need the lawn mowed. For now the grass is growing. As mentioned in past columns most of us need to do some yard cleanup. Usually we also had our first bonfire to dispose of the dead branches which came down over winter. The occasional rains are nice too. Then we can have good things growing - not just flowers. And our garden needs work too. This includes clearing, plowing and then planting. And then to watch for our first garden produce - radishes of course.
