Saturday at the Wildflower Sanctuary - 8am!

Please join us at the Batavia Wildflower Sanctuary on Saturday, Aug. 6th at 8:00 am.  We will be meeting on the east (shady) side to clear the sidewalk where plants are hanging over it.  Gardening gloves, loppers, clippers, weed diggers and buckets or tarps for hauling will be handy if you have them. 
 
The weather forecast looks beautiful, so I hope to see you there!

Crock Pot Rhubabr and Strawberry Crisp

Yvonne brought this yummy crisp to the summer picnic.  In these "dog days of summer" what is better than a dessert that can be completed in a crock pot and not heat up the house.  Yvonne suggests plugging the crock pot in on your porch, versus in the kitchen, to make it even cooler!  Enjoy!
