Garden plot, really coming along

Jonathan’s and my plot in a local community garden is really coming along! We’ve been getting vegetables planted, a few plants at a time, and it’s great to see our crops getting bigger with each visit to the garden. (Face masks are an omnipresent requirement due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place, but tending our garden is a productive opportunity to get out in fresh air.)

SRCS to serve meals on Mondays and Wednesdays

Effective Wednesday, April 15, Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) will serve meals on Mondays and Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m at all nine meal distribution sites. A total of five breakfasts and five lunches will be served each week with fewer pickups. “Fewer pickups with more meals keeps families and staff safer. See you soon!”

Community garden plot

While Jonathan and I shelter-in-place to help avoid spread of COVID-19, we’ve been using that some of that time to work in a community garden.

During the past couple of days, we’ve worked to clear weeds from our garden-plot. We’re looking forward to planting crops that will give us fresh vegetables.

We’ve also met other people involved in the community garden.

Making connections with other people doesn’t come easily to me, so I greatly value the chance to build greater community involvement.
