The calendar says spring, but we are having a little taste of summer this week. I hope you are able to get out and enjoy it at least a little bit.
Thank you to George and Fister Quarries for donating a truckload of quartz sand for use on our paths, and thank you to Mary and her truck for helping me haul it all to the WFS.
Thanks too, to Terri, Deb, Lindsay and Mary for all of your hard work last Friday, and to Kay, Dida and Jo for all of your work in between clean-up days. Please let me know if I left anyone out!
Our next work day will be on Friday, April 30 starting at 9:00. We will be moving over to the savannah area that is surrounded by the boardwalk to do some weeding and dead-heading. If you have them, please bring gardening gloves, clippers, weed diggers, drinking water, eye protection, and something to haul clippings in. If you cannot make it on Friday, but would like to help, we could use some dead-heading in the little prairie.
The photos below are of Deb and Lindsay putting in a new stepping stone path and the latest flower to open up at the WFS: woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata). Take a stroll along the Riverwalk to see if you can find them (both the path and the phlox).
Hope to see you Friday!
Sarah
