Our morning was spent once again in Cold Canyon. This time we met up with about forty people, at least ten of them under ten (go Girl Scout Troop 1952) to plant native grasses at the homestead, a nice hike in to the canyon of about 1-1/2 miles.
There were 600 grass seedlings to plant as well as quite a few native shrubs and trees (toyon, lotus, gray pine). With 40 people, though, the time passed quickly. Numenius has so far avoided messing about too much in the garden but he was well into it today. We were joined by about 5,000 hatching ladybugs. It was an excellent party.
One of the great pleasures of the day was running into three separate friends. Andrea, in the middle here at left, had some wonderful news to share with us. She’s a lurker on this blog so I won’t embarrass her but hey, gal, congratulations to you and Steve. It was great to see you.
