Hey Everyone,

The tobacco looks great doesn’t It? It’s now about a foot and half tall and producing lots of leaves for me to pick.  I have already given some tobacco away.  I gave some tabacoo to some Native visitors to the museum last week.  They were from the Navajo Nation.  They were a very nice family they seamed very grateful for the gift, they looked like they had a good time in our site too.  I have already picked a lot of  leaves and hung them in my office to dry too.  I think we will have a good crop this year.  I was down at the Mashpee Pow wow last weekend and watched fire ball game ( a medicine Game Played) and before the game the guys offered some tobacco to the ground, but they didn’t have a lot to put down,  so I am going to make sure I grow a little extra this year for the game next Year.  Thanks guys for the read I will now post some pictures of the tobacco drying in my office so you can see that too.

see ya

Tim
