The weather was beautiful (low 60's) and sunny. We dug, planted, trimmed and put borders around some of our garden beds. The children watered so much that there was a swampy area near the rain barrel that we had to avoid during the picnic that followed. We did our best to all bring trashless lunches, and after lunch, the 5 & 6 year olds discussed where all the stuff goes. The older afternoon group also celebrated a day early by hiking over to Ben & Jerry's for free scoop day! Today we start the day-to-day work of keeping everything watered and weeded.
