Last week was busy!  Volunteering was the key word all around.<\/p>\n

Kara, Julia, Terry and I helped welcome the Elgin ISD faculty and staff back to school by volunteering to serve at the First United Methodist Church<\/a> of Elgin’s annual luncheon last Tuesday.  We love this little church because they do church right and have welcomed our Ranchers with open arms.  The worldwide United Methodist Church media department even did a video<\/a> on us!<\/p>\n

Charles worked on getting the new pond in the Community Garden, where we will shortly plant our fall vegetables!<\/p>\n

Later in the week Dell volunteers came out, along with friends and family, to help out with the annual poinsettia planting.  How else would we get 15,000 pots planted!?<\/p>\n

Former staff member Jim Hooyboer came out to tune up and fix the Ranchers’ bikes and trikes, and stayed busy at it all day!<\/p>\n

The chicks finally decided it was OK to explore the great outdoors, exiting the Chicken Hilton to explore the grass just outside the door.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
