March 25-31

 
Garden Workers

It was a beautiful first week of Spring, as the sun came out and temperatures rose into the low-60’s fahrenheit. On Monday we saw the first swallows of the season. They’ve been scouting out the nesting boxes but don’t seem to have taken up residence yet.

look up in the sky - it’s a swallow!

The arrival of the weekend brought with it the annual Easter work party, which coincided this year with the Festival of Passover. There were about 30 participants on hand for the weekend, which was notable for its great weather and the wide range of work that was done.

Support Solar!

Coinciding with the arrival of Spring, a new fund-raising initiative to support the upcoming installation of photovoltaic solar panels is underway. We are inviting individuals, families and friends to consider helping with the purchase of the panels by donating for the cost of a full panel ($650), half panel ($325), quarter panel ($167.50), or nuts & bolts (any amount). Donations can be made in various ways, including donating online. More information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead!
