The New Garden: Staking and Prepping
While waiting for the concrete blocks to arrive, we staked off the area for the beds. Dad also added a few tires to experiment with until we are able to expand the garden down the road.

Little Flowers Meeting #4: Love of Neighbor
This month we are learning about the virtue "Love of Neighbor". We discussed the challenges that come with loving our neighbor and how to work at overcoming them. The flower was the rose because of the multilayer and facets that go with this virtue. The saint was St. Jane Frances de Chantel who helped hundreds of women by founding the Salesian order for women. The girls practiced their love of neighbor by helping a fellow flower and her family in mourning over the death of a family member. We made a spiritual flower bouquet out of tissues and tagged acts of sacrifices on the stems. Then we pitched in to do some chores for them in order to make their homecoming more pleasant.
