HP Gets a Fall Landscape Makeover!

Thanks to Margaret Menicucci and Wes Amberboy for organizing the Fall Landscape cleanup to the front of the school! LOADS of trees and plants were trimmed and readied for winter, beds were cleared, and invasive plants were removed to get the front of the school looking ship-shape. Also thanks to Nadene Morning for donating a Mexican Buckeye tree, and to Sean Compton for planting it and the Redbud sapling, near the Redbud and Buckeye portables on the West side of the school.  The landscape cleanup will be looking for a few MORE good hands soon to do some MULCHING....so contact Wes or Margaret if you'd like to pitch in for the Winter mulch event. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jubilee88/sets/72157622733744845/show/

The new Mexican Buckeye near the 'Buckeye' portable - thanks Nadene and Sean!

Come out next weekend and we'll finish Redbud!


Despite the cooler temperatures and mist this weekend, Frances, Sandy, Margaret, Alexis and David came out and enjoyed adding some leaves to Redbud.  It was nice to see the third color go up, and to see some sections finished! We'll be painting again Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving 12:00- on, so come join us if you have some time.  E-mail jdaz@att.net if you can make it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jubilee88/sets/72157622858177718/show/

Redbud gets started!

Beautiful days, now, to be outside painting, and this lucky team took full advantage and made some progress with the Redbud stencils. We're looking forward to a follow-up session next weekend, Sat. Nov. 21 @ 12:30, so if you think you can make it send jdaz@att.net an e-mail and we'd love to put you on a team! Many thanks to Thad Henry, Sandy Tipton, Ray Calderon, Michael Young, David Lynch, Nathan Phillips, and David Tasch for lending lots of hands to us and getting this weekend off to a great start!

Bur Oak & Sycamore are finished!

Just in time for the Bur Oak acorns to start dropping on the ground, the Bur Oak & Sycamore leaves have finished 'falling'. The rain stopped and the teams had some lovely days to apply the layers of color. Stop by and see the shadow of the real leaves on the sides of the buildings, overlaid with the stenciled leaves to see the full affect. Pictures of the process can bee seen here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jubilee88/sets/72157622809590468/show/ & http://www.flickr.com/photos/jubilee88/sets/72157622685466901/show/
