Fence posts and other excitement on the hill

June 5, 2011 by Diana

Thanks to a great volunteer crew yesterday, all but 15 of the remaining posts on Young’s Hill are in place!

This was not easy work because we had some rain over the last few weeks which filled up the holes, so yesterday’s volunteers, Kim S., Rita, Kim C., Donna, Kelly, and Bill, were not afraid to get dirty. I asked Kim S. how she managed to get dirt on her shoulders and found out it was because she was head-first in the 4-foot holes bailing water out.

Speaking of fence posts, there are only 26 posts left to “adopt” – check out all of the wonderful fence post plaque inscriptions on our 3rd Anniversary Fundraising page. Thanks to everyone who has joined in on this fundraising campaign!

In other really exciting news, the bamboo on the hill is shooting!!

I promised J.B. I would help him set the remaining 15 posts today, so I had better get out there, but here are some photos I took last night on hill:
