I'm sorry I didn't get before/after pics but a group of young adults from St. Mark Pres outside St. Louis MO, led by Katie Mullins Sternhagen, did an outstanding days work at The Field in NLR on Monday. They cleaned the chicken coop, organized a mess of lumber, cleaned fence rows, weeded/mulched veggies, and generally sweated their...off from 7am in the morning until I said "mercy!" about 1pm in 105 degree heat index. The chickens are happier, the cucumbers are easier to pick, and I can see the beehives from the barn again! Thanks! Thanks!Tricia and Aaron and Josh take note. McDave was helpful on the tractor too. Good day's work toward making homelessness suck a little bit less in central Arkansas.
