A few weeks ago, I noticed that the flower beds in front of the library could use a little sprucing up. Â So, I talked with the head librarian and got his okay on everything. Â Then, we were off to the races! Â The boys went with me in different configurations and I went by myself a few times over the course of several days to do some weeding, pruning of the crepe myrtle and roses, and cutting back of the dead monkey grass. Â The Mulch Stop donated 2 yards of mulch, and The Southbranch Nusery donated 6 small pots of lantana to put in the flower pots out front!!! Â I talked with another instrumental mom in our moms’ group, and she suggested putting it down as an event on our calendar and inviting moms and kids out to join us for a work day. Â She also suggested rotating with each other playing with the kids in the library (reading, coloring, etc.) and working outside. Â We brought snacks to share, and we had a great time! Â Laura brought the mulch in her truck, and it was amazing how much we were able to get done. Â There is no way it would have gotten done without everyone coming together. Yay for community!!! Â Here are a few pictures of the boys hard at work…
