"A Time For Green"

For all those interested in how the "Empty Bowls festival" went, I thought it was great. The event was very well organized, a sunny day to boot (trust me, with all the rain we have had this was so welcome!). There was face painting and clowns, musicians and bands. The bowls that were made for this were countless. I can not believe that amount of work that went into simply organizing that part. I picked up several bowls and am especially fond of the ones the children did. The soups and chilis donated by local resteraunts were sooooo good. People seemed to enjoy the "Airdirondack Chairs" that 11 local artists painted. We even had a chair ready and set for children to paint, and what a time they had. That chair will be on display in City Hall. To view some of the chairs, simply go to www.airdrie7.blogspot.com . The chairs will now be on display at several local businesses, banks, Ravenswood Show Homes, and City Hall. On October 14th, the chairs will be auctioned off, as a kick off to a Arts and Cultural Center in Airdrie!

So, with that being done, on to the grand work of gardening. Here are a few pics of my plants before they went into the greenhouse last week.
