April 17th 2010: let's start!

Finally after long weeks of intense preparation we were able to start this new adventure.
A group of volunteers under the guidance of David Lindquist, Wilson parent and owner of Cassandra Farm, rolled up sleeves and start digging. The weather has not been with us. We hoped for a big rain on Friday, but instead we only had very dark clouds and a little rain, so the ground was extremely hard. Lucky we brought our kids so we had many little hands carrying water to soften the soil and picking up the unwanted grass. Finally after 3 days of hard work we were able to prepare the first 13 beds needed to start seeding with 177 kids.


At the end we were sore, tired and sweet, but very proud of what we had accomplished for our kids.


You can look at some picture taken during the work on the right of the blog page. There is one picture that was never taken we will always miss. The one with Kirsten, one of the moms in our committee, courageously pushing the tiller for her fist time in her life.


Thank to all of you Alisha and Mike Molloy, David Lindquist, Kirsten Stilgenbauer, Mark and Kristen Page Alt, Mike Curry, Susan Prince.
