Of Concrete and Fence Posts

It has been a very productive week.  The fence posts are in and set.  Mr. V., Mr. Lepsch, Larry and I spent the morning getting them in place, cemented in, and leveled.  It was a great time and it went very quickly.  I think we were all surprised seeing as it literally took days to dig the holes.

When Garden Club starts again this week we'll have plenty to do.   In the next few weeks we'll need to mulch the flower bed, plant our starts, start some more seeds, and finish building the fence.  Then there's the seemingly unending weeding.  Weeding is actually one of my favorite things to do.  It's a quiet, calm activity that can be very restorative after a long day in school.  Yup, I almost kept a straight face when I wrote that.  Well, it is restorative, but when you have a dozen or so elementary age students helping, it's not really that quiet.  It's fun though.

That's a lot to think about, but we'll get it done.  This coming week I believe we'll just concentrate on getting the flower bed mulched.

Here are few pictures from this morning.

Say hello to my little friend.
