Work Party

Yesterday, we had our first open work day since the coffeehouse bookstore closed down for renovation.  Glenn and I are at the site almost every day, and the Board is frequently there individually, but it was great to see everyone there together.  Led by Cathy Waymire-Rooks, Board member and landscape architect, Glenn, the Board, a few youth volunteers (Sara, SamE, and Julie), and I sawed down the old apple tree, shoveled manure, dug up dead plants, and ate four pizzas and two huge trays of apples and cookies.  It was a beautiful day, with the storm clouds seeming to cover the sky everywhere except for Langley.  It did rain briefly at about 1:45, but it was warm, the raindrops fell fast and departed quickly. It felt like the first Spring rain.

I feel bad for the tree, but it made some terrible apples.

I'm going to miss the old classic sign.

Beautiful.
