update

Our August 5 workday went well.  We didn't accomplish all of our goals but it was a lofty list.  We assembled and stained the arbor, completed the sitting pad, sheet mulched (see permaculture in action), planted some donated perennials and began path and trail construction.  We also have added a new element to our plan which is going to tie it all together-a walking trail.  So far we plan to put in about a quarter mile trail but as the project progresses over the years so will the trail we hope.  Stay tuned for the announcement of our next workday.  Thank you to those who helped and sent those positive energy vibes.  Our next job will include moving some sod so even 15 minutes helps.
