Our first Sirens of the Soil Meeting was a big success even though our numbers were few. We had 8 members at our first meeting and missed those of you who weren't there. Carol Parsley, Larice Ochoa, Martha Kirk, Francis Conner, Linda? , Linda Hoosier, Margaret Butler and Mischelle Holland were there.
Mischelle Holland hosted our meeting. Mischelle had a list of things she wanted done. We divided and conquered her list. A few Sirens planted herb seeds for the wreath we made. We clean up her Sego Palm and gathered 100 pups. (It seemed like a 100.) Call Gwen if you want some pups. 769-4317. We cleaned her cucumber and strawberry bed. We planted tomatoes. Weeded her tropical beds around her beckoning pool and in the front yard. A few of us helped her make a very cute terra cotta pot wreath.
She shared a cute idea for a plant stake made from shish kabob skewers with a cork on top . (Forgot to take a picture.) You write the name of the plant on the cork.
We finished a little before 10 am and visited until the yummy Quiches were ready! We had asparagus,bacon quiches, a cranberry, goat cheese and walnut salad, Pudding Parfaits, Blueberry Crunch Pound cake. (This spelling is getting hard so overlook my misspelling I am too lazy to go get a dictionary.) It was a lovely day and the weather was good to us, so were the misquitoes as they stayed away.
