Most of this week was clear and warm. On Wed the 11th, We got this picture of sunbathers as we walked through Mercer Arboretum. I counted about 25 of them.
Today was a cold but beautiful garden workday morning and
all the garden beds got a new blanket of mulch for the winter. Despite
the significant efforts two weeks ago, the beds had to have leaves raked before spreading
the fine pine mulch. As usual, our many
thanks go to Dennis Johnston of Pct. #4 for providing our mulch. And the “Helper
of the Week” award goes to Rich, who worked the wheel barrow full time keeping
us supplied with the mulch. Chuck appreciated this addition of horsepower for
tasks that usually fall to him. Thanks
to Janet, Cathy and Joan for their continued dedication and support - you are
the greatest! Here are the results
Remember our scheduled morning workdays in the garden are the
2nd Friday of each month.
