Millionaires

We lost Billy Bernstein on August 16th, and many hearts ache with his absence.  I'm remembering how he would sit at the river and say, “I must be a millionaire. I told the crew put the river there, a few rapids, and those rocks just like that in the sunlight. I must be a millionaire.”  

By this reasoning, Paige Davis in the late summer garden is also a millionaire.

 

Beethoven on the Bridge

A bust of Beethoven above Browns Creek. We know not why. Note single thread of spider silk. 

Gardeners

Bruce with the amazing tomato plantation he created at Camp Celo. Bamboo structures and heavily pruned tomato plants growing on strings. So many beautiful tomatoes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeff and Mike with one of the squash towers at the community garden on Hannah Branch Road. Mike took the lead on this innovative method of getting summer squash to grow up a bamboo pole--lots of pruning and tying involved. We've never had baby squash this late in the summer before. Mike will be glad to tell you all the details. 

Peace Day

Mari playing the koto with Izzy on cello during a Peace Day celebration at Camp Celo on August 6, which is the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.

Lots of purple on the line

 

I bet many people can guess whose line this is.

Contented Moths

Sarah got this great picture of a pair of moths being very focused. 

Harvest!

Every Wednesday morning the gardeners of the Hannah Branch Road community garden get together to harvest extra produce that is donated to Dig In! for free distribution. (Mike House wasn't here this week; we took this picture so he wouldn't worry.)
