Weeds galore

Everyone pitches in - note the grass and clover that was trying to take over the pathway all the way around - arrgh! 

Plants!

We had a gracious plenty of plants to put in for color, with thanks to all who contributed - a gentleman approached us as we were setting up wanting to buy some from us, thinking we were a fundraising plant sale - maybe someday...  Volunteers brought everything from shelter to a hotplate to a truck.


Bob vs. the Weeds

Weeds, weeds, weeds - who is winning? You can do it, Bob!


Out with the old in with the new

All along the pathway, many of the remaining old stones were taken out to be replaced with the lovely new ones, though the same quotes and people remain on them.

Dogpile!

Everyone is working so hard, let's all take a nap.

Compost!

Wonderful compost, but so very much of it..! shovel, shovel...


See the dark clouds in the sky in the picture above?  They began to approach and the wind began to pick up...

Here comes the wind

Here it comes!  Rain by the bucketful!

Rain!

Some of our stalwart weeders could not be stopped.  "Come back here you cowards, it's just rain!"

Rain rain!

Rain....rain....  Hey, it makes the ground softer, right?

Rain! Rain!

As the rain let up, everyone got back to work - hmm, where shall we put this tree?

Planting

The day is running out of light, and we are running out of steam...but the garden is looking good!  Here are a couple pictures of the nearly-finished product of our labors...

And of course if you have rain and compost...you get MUD!  Add a truck and you get...
