While there we spent time putting away Valentine's Day decorations as well as excersing with the residents.
This week's weather gave us the chance to get out and walk the property. We hung up some birdhouse gourds, found a salamander family, and scoped out summer mission group projects. In the greenhouse we found a new praying mantis for our nature collection. We also spent a bit of time filling holes out front. There is always something that needs worked on here to keep everything running smoothly. |  Our Star Garlic Presser! | Tuesday's lunch was a fantastic chicken broccoli Alfredo, served with cinnamon applesauce. Everyone agreed it was delicious. Tuesdays may be our favorite day of the week at GG! We know we are so lucky to have Sue and her team of chefs cooking for us all.
Additional adventures this week included cleaning out the Green Room closet, shopping, making catnip treats, and working on puzzles. Now we are excitedly looking forward to next week and the very beginning of planting time, when we will be starting some seeds inside. Before we know it, the growing season will be upon us and we will be crazy busy! | | OUTREACH and MISSION OPPORTUNITIES | Ongoing Outreach/Mission Opportunity Coat & Clothing & More Drive ~ 2nd Saturday in October

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to me. .....When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me. Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 ~ What can YOU do? | | LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS/EVENTS | If you know of any interesting news or events,
