We woke up this morning to thunderstorms but were undeterred. So were several others that joined us at the garden this morning for some good hard work. It is truly amazing how a collective effort can make short order out of a LOT of work that needs to be done. The clouds blew over after a couple of hours and we were left with a beautiful morning to enjoy the different tasks, working in mud, and laughing with neighbors and new friends.
Together we got the following accomplished today:
* Cleared out a large portion of the brush along the MSD creek to make room for the fence
* Got the rest of the trees cut up, and hauled the logs to the edge of the property
* Lined the orchard perimeter and area around each apple tree with bricks
* Moved the pile of clipping chips to the orchard and spread them there
* Polished off 3 pizzas and lots of water
* Participated in a couple impromptu wheelbarrow races
* Agreed that the little snake in the brush was most decidedly NOT a copperhead
Special thanks to Sue, Craig and Angelique, Cortez, Dwayne, Bev and John, Randy, Linda, and Carole. Also, thanks to Officer Dee and Officer Ray for each stopping by and offering words of encouragement. We all had a great time and will undoubtedly sleep well tonight!
This is great! Congratulations and good job to all of you that participated! I can't wait to see what's next.
