The front lawn is starting to grow in! Thank you, birds, for leaving the seeds alone! This is a no-mow eco-grass made up of three different fescues. It only has to be mown once or twice a year, so it's in keeping with our message of sustainability. Also, has anyone seen the gorgeous red hollyhock flowers to the right of the house? They look so old-fashioned and are an incredible color.                                                                                                   Photos by Alison Clary

Instructor Jennifer Brennan did a great job teaching the home canning workshop last Thursday. Participants learned practical tips on how to can, safely and efficiently. Everyone went home with a jar of incredible homemade apricot-ginger jam! We also thank Rob White for his generous donation of assorted Mason and Bell jars earlier in the day.                                                        Photos by Alison Clary
