What to do on a warm fall day?  Help 350 elementary school students plant over 1100 daffodil bulbs in 230 holes in under 2 hours!

Our school's Earthkeepers committee organized this traditional Daffodil Day planting and in the past it has involved a small bed at the school entrance.  This year, those wacky committee co-chairs decided to go all out and plant up one side and down the other!  Daffodils all around the perimeter of the school on the outside, and tulips in the inner courtyard, where the deer can't get at them.

These co-chairs report to me as I am on the Executive Board of the PTA.  Which is a fancy way of saying they do all the work!  I am priviledged to work with such energetic parents - it amazes me what these volunteers give of their time and energy to better our school.

And today, it is raining buckets, and I'm thinking that's good for the bulbs!  Have a great weekend.

Oh! Next spring your heart is going to be singing when you see all those daffodils and tulips. That is going to be S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G! You will have to put photos up. The rain is imminent here and I'm glad for all the things I *did* get in, but heartsick about the things I couldn't get in yet. Darn.
