Gardens and Giving

 Completed another garden.  First step was to expand the perimeter.


Then, get rid of that mess of field grass in the middle that has choked out some Day Lilies.  The Day Lilies weren't particularly happy in this location so they're getting dug out too.

I'm sure that I didn't get rid of all the field grass roots - they reside about four to six inches under the surface.  So, we won't put anything else in the garden until the spring, when we can find and remove any remaining grass.

But today's result will get us to that next step.  Four broken bags of top soil to fill the holes I made, fourteen broken bags of red mulch, and voila!


Unfortunately, soils and mulches come in very thin plastic bags.  Over time and with sun exposure they become very brittle.  This is a skid from last year.


It gives me lots to work with, but it doesn't do much for David's bottom line!

In any event, it's on to the next area.  I hope to get a few more of these done before the weather shuts me down.

My friend Wayne sent me some bits of wisdom and one of them hit me square on!  It probably summarized what a lot of the world is doing right now.  Written it 1949!


Written in 1949!  The man was a genius.

Optimist meeting tonight.  Our guest speaker was from Habitat For Humanity and she was presented with a cheque for $500.


The club's projects have generated over $30,000 this year.  And it's being spread to do good in the community.

Stay well my friends.
