After several delays due to scheduling conflicts and weather, we successfully planted the Three Oaks Garden. On Monday, May 10 a few people showed up to rototill and add peat moss to the garden. On Tuesday, we bought plants from the Amish store in Loveville on Route 5: eggplant, collard greens, cucumbers, zucchini, watermelon, musk melon, tomatos, peppers, chives, onions, and a few marigolds to look pretty.

Herbs were donated by the Funny Farm, a store at 21057 Point Lookout Rd in Callaway. Many thanks!

On Thursday evening (13 May 2010), eight people from the Fellowship and four people from Three Oaks got everything in the ground, watered, and mulched. It was a lot quicker than last year, since the garden was ready to go! Three Oaks has a new nozzle for their garden hose, so keeping the plants well watered will be easier.

We'll be visiting every two weeks or so to weed. Please come and help on those days! (TBA)

Let's all hope for a bountiful harvest!

FELLOWSHIP BUILDERS

In honor of the Polar Express play we held in December 2009, the UUFSM Youth group gathered on Saturday and created a Cake Train, featuring a steam locomotive (popcorn smoke and pretzel windows, with a waffle ice cream bowl for a cow catcher), a coal car (chocolate chips), two freight cars (tootsie rolls and gum drops), and a little red caboose. The wheels (Oreos and thin mints) ran on red licorice rails.

It was reduced to crumbs at the Sunday snack time.

On Memorial Day weekend, people from the Fellowship and Three Oaks Center in Lexington Park created a garden with flowers and vegetables. As you can see, it's growing well! (including, unfortunately, some weeds. If you have time, feel free to stop by and pull some of them out.)
