Enjoy the day

We will join up today with a bunch of our community to clean up the parks and stream banks in our area.
Every litter bit helps. :)

That sounds like a wonderful thing to do.
 
Great turnout - ~35-45 of us stayed for a good afternoon.

It's truly amazing how much stuff gets blown around during the Winter.

The city gave us blessings to plant a bunch of Maple trees, in a semi-circle at one end of the park dedicated to the long time residents that are still with us and those that have recently passed.
Should be a nice area in twenty years. I hope I'll be around to see them mature. Simple things times a thousand can be wonderful things.
