Attempted duck rescue and first garden night (or not)

3/13/2019

 

​Dear ecology friends,
The earth is turning back 'round to Spring
and daylight savings time has given us an extra hour of light in the evening.
We officially open the Wednesday garden nights this week!
Wednesday, March 13th.
There is work that can be done, but there are strong predictions for rain, 
but here is our plan:

We meet at 5:00. Greet each other. (hugs, laughter)
Look around. 
Look at the list of tasks.
Maybe we'll do some work. 

If it's raining hard, we could go home. 
But some of us plan to go to a 7pm meeting at Sulzer Library about ....
Preventing flooded basements! (and rain and protecting the river)

Sounds mundane, but it isn't. 
It is about rain, the river, the sewer system, the river, pollution, 
and what we can do to help keep the river cleaner, and our basement dry. 
See the flyers below. 

Maybe stop somewhere between the two
for a bite to eat and drink?
Looking forward to getting together with our garden community soon!
Julie Peterson  and Pete Leki

Duck Drama
The dramatic rescue attempt of neighbors to free a male mallard duck with its head stuck in a plastic 6-pack ring is documented by Mary Schmich in the tribune today.
Here's the link, with a great photo by Tribune photographer Armando Sanchez:
