Girls you did a nice job with the planting.  I can tell a couple of you really got down on the ground and got into the wet dirt by the  stains on your pants! I'm sure you all did your part in the actual planting also.
      Thanks again and don't forget to water them once in awhile OK.

We were down to water our flowers this morning.  Thanks for the reminder!  We would like to Thank Fairfax Road Forman Don Pidgeon for lending us orange road cones to slow the cars down for our safety.  We really appreciated the help from J&L Hardware Store who gave us top soil and mulch to complete our project.  Also, Thanks to all of the hand waves and smiles we received on Sunday morning while we were working on the garden!

MANY years ago, I did the same project in the same location as a girl scout.  It was me and Kathy Murray.  I do believe that Maryann was still our leader at the time.  We spent a lot of time keeping those flowers going during the summer.  But I remember how proud I was every time we rode by and saw the beautiful flowers on that little island. 

Congratulations to the girls and their leaders.  It means a great deal to those of us who drive past that spot frequently.  Cheers up the village!
