garden workday

Today we had our first workday for our community garden. It was a lot of fun and hardwork. We planted a lot of fall and winter vegetables, we dug out a space for a garden in the spring, and we overhauled the compost pile–whew!

art weekend

Thursday, we went to the Sound in the Ground at the Mesa Art Center. It was so much fun. It was a party for artists. I met Jeff Falk who is a local legend. By the end of the night, he was wearing a giant Day of the Dead skull on his head and blowing bubbles out of a toy gun.

Our slide show went great. The artists represented photography, ceramics, painting, spoken word, and assemblage. It was a bit loud beacause we were hearing much of the noise from the courtyard.

On Friday, we went to the gallery opeing for the WindUp Gallery in downtown Mesa. Go to this gallery and check out the sweet art they have up right now. It’s amazing. Monsters, creatures, humans…great stuff. Make sure you know the hours before you go. And eat lunch at PoshNosh while you’re down there. They have great pasties and pastries. An old high school friend of mine is the chef.

speaking of free food…

They are taking donations if you’d like to help out Save the Family.  STF is a local Mesa organization that helps homeless families get off the streets.

Otherwise, you can just come and help break last year’s taco tally.
