Yesterday... Saturday, July 25, before the heat sit in, a dedicated core of volunteers weeded portions of the gardens. I can't say enough about these individuals who give their time and energy to maintaining these gardens. Bob, another regular, was unable to attend. As usual we received many statements of praises from those passing by on their bikes or on foot. We always need additional hands. So sometimes instead of saying "thank you" I feel like shouting back "come help us", but I refrain from this response.
The crew (Claudia, Joyce, Laura, Ken and Ann) taking a break and enjoying the Jewish Tarts made by Ann. Note Joyce and Ken are wearing the Southwest Path Steward t-shirt. They are a bright lime green color with a colorful picture of a yellow cone flower.

Me (Jake) with his gardening apparel including the Stewards of the Path t-shirt. Got to love that hat. It does the trick. Work shoes are made in the USA and from Fleet and Farm. Jeans are also from Fleet and Farm. Is there an emerging gardening fashion trend here? Work shoes really take a beating from working on rocks. I usually need to buy new shoes after two seasons. So during the upcoming off seasons I might need to visit Fleet and Farm.
So another work session is history. The sun was hot as Ann and I walked home. I was glad that we were heading home to an air conditioned space while feeling grateful for those who participated in this morning's weeding extravaganza.
