Laboring on Labor Day!
Sunday, September 09, 2007
Well, let's see....this is just how hard the Youth worked to get ready to plant the "top secret" garden for Pearl Jones, the Director of Christian Education.
LOL! Now really...it was a very warm Labor Day afternoon. The Youth, some parents, youth leaders and other adults gathered at the church for an exciting afternoon of dirt, weeds, manure (oh so fragrant), and fun.. for a work party. The goal: To get the ground ready for a "top secret garden" to be planted in honor of Pearl Jones, the director of Christian Education. The garden is to honor her and the great strides that Christian education, at our church, is making.
The afternoon was spent digging up grass, sorting out
weeds, tilling, raking and hoeing.

Everyone pitched in and many hands made light work.
The spreading of manure was most aromatic!
It was worked into the soil.

We even had time for a water break!
When it was all over, we were able to place the garden stones
in preliminary spots so that we could get an idea of where
things were to be placed according to the design obtained by Jean Rogers.

Now we were just waiting for the plants that had been ordered to come in and a special garden stone to be made just for Pearl! After an afternoon of digging, we all had lunch topped off with homemade ice cream by Lindy Coleman. If you were not there, you missed a real treat!
There was no sign of Pearl! The secret mission went off as planned.
