Community Garden & Madera Canyon

We had the community garden kick-off a couple Saturdays ago. Sadly, only us and the Hays showed up out of the gardeners. We also had one of our Food Bank Sponsors and one of the gardening experts from the Green Valley community garden, who came toting neat varieties of peppers and tomatoes that grow well in the heat. We were lucky to be able to snag a few and are excited to see how they turn out! The rest of the gardeners have been trickling in, but they missed out on my donut party.

We had ground squirrels climb up the faucet and eat all our plants! We bought some clamps to keep the netting in place, and it seems to have put a stop to that. 
We were perpetually wiping dirt off his face
 After we had our spring plants in the ground, we headed up Madera Canyon for a picnic lunch with the Hays with a few extra kids that they were watching. They took care of the remaining donuts for us. 

Every kid other than cautious Colby ended up falling into the stream.
