*****Would any of you be interested in learning about bicycle maintenance and repair? David Moore has volunteered to work on this with anyone who would like to participate, as part of our Thursday meetings. He will bring tools, bikes and parts. Bring your own bike, if you like! David was a member of and mechanic for Yellow Bikes of Atlanta GA and brings his expertise and years of experience. *****




Mr. David and a young man from our group worked to get our lasagna garden bed started today. The cardboard layer is down, a light layer of twigs and a thick layer of dry leaves. Next will be the green layer of grass clippings, leftover lettuce/cabbage leaves, potato and other peels, coffee grounds, etc. etc. Save what you can and simply dump it on top of what is already out there, whenever you come by. This layer needs to be at least 5 inches thick, so don't throw veggie scraps away. Please, no meats, breads, pasta, gravy, etc. as it will produce odors and draw rats. Fruit and veg only. Thanks!

Print out the image below. If you are unable to print the image, come in to the library and I will print it for you. You will need crayons (no markers or pencils) to complete this task. If you have your 6"x9" drawing paper, use it to complete the drawing. You may pick up drawing paper at the library at any time during our open hours. Make sure to pick up your art notebooks, so you can save your lessons all together.
