Movin' mulch

Lions Club members loaded truck after truck of mulch Saturday morning for those who stopped by with their own trucks and trailers and for delivery to those who ordered mulch by phone.

The Lions, who usually end their sale around Memorial Day, will continue selling it in June since many May Saturdays were rainy.

ABATE bikers in Ada

Tavern 101 hosted 50 ABATE bikers Saturday during a memorial run which began in Ada and travelled to Mt. Blanchard, Upper Sandusky, Bucyrus, and Mt. Gilead before ending the day in Marion.

Pictured among the parked motorcycles lining Main Street are Jim Elgin, CEO of ABATE in Ohio, and Lisa Barnes, co-coordinator of region 14.

ABATE stands for American Bikers Aid Toward Education. One of their projects is distributing yard signs and decals for vehicles reminding people to look out for motorcycles. The organization is a motorcycle advocacy group.

Mourning dove takes a break...on my car.

She reluctantly flew off when I told her that I needed to go somewhere.

I was within arms' length when I took this photo.
