Squares & Chairs

 
 
The calm before the storm. The women's musical chairs was particularly cutthroat but the ending was elegant.
 
The men's was just downright dirty.
 

We Kick Up Our Heels @ the Square Dance Fundraiser

Thank you for helping us make our first square dance fundraiser a huge success. Two hundred adults plus children endured a rainy potluck to play on the dance floor. Here people peruse tables of great food, sometimes with umbrellas in hand.
 
The porch of Sherrill's Inn was a popular and crowded place to dine.
 
The incredible and gracious band played till well into the evening.
 
We kicked up our heels (to varying degrees) in celebration.
 

Getting in the Corn

Here's a good view of the almost-finished shed Steve Norris built with help from the community. Our corn crop was late this first year but we plan on getting several in before it's all over.  

Outstanding In Their Field

Young and old and everyone in between are invited to help grow food for the hungry. Whether you're a master gardener or have two brown thumbs, there's a niche for you at The Lord's Acre. Check our website for volunteer times and dates.  
 
 
 

Potato Planting

There's been much activity in The Lord's Acre since interns Paul Horton and Phillip Johnson arrived on the scene. Here we squeeze in a potato planting between storms on one end and an outdoor wedding near the garden on the other. Paul dusts the potatoes with sulfur.  
We tease Phillip that he's doing a potato jig here.
 
Volunteer, Gabriel helps Phillip get-r-done.
 
Gabe's mom, Rebecca, helps lay out those long rows of spuds.
