All-Church Work Day

Yesterday was All-Church Work Day! I'd never been before. There was always one excuse or another in the past, but I'll try not to miss another. What fun!

So much doing and getting done - and in the most fun way possible - with good people and with pizza! There was scrubbing, the moving, the painting, sorting, etc. inside and the long list I'd accumulated for outdoor work was done quickly and happily by a great group of folks. (Thank you all!)

Everything is well-weeded and the entire raised vegetable bed is full of plants, seeds, compost and trellising. If you face it from Francesca Avenue it will begin looking more and more like this general plan:

Here's some more snapshots of a good day:

turning over the soil

weed whacking

planting pansies along the sidewalk

surveying our progress

watering freshly-planted basil and chatting

planting tomatoes

puzzling over the irrigation system

planting squash (and beans and cukes)
