June-uary is over!
That’s right, folks- Welcome to summer! Those of you who grew up in Seattle know that summer doesn’t officially start for us until after the 4th of July, and true to form, the sun came out the afternoon of the 5th. We have a week of heat and sun ahead of us, but there are several shady areas in the greenbelt that are in need of attention so don’t be afraid to come out and get dirty with us! Those of you who complained that the weather was too cold and rainy in June no longer have an excuse!
Despite the weather in “June-uary,” we had some great days, including when our buddies from John Hay Elementary came out and did some much needed site maintenance. In addition to pulling out blackberry, these 4th and 5th graders removed St. John’s wort and prickly lettuce that were as tall as they are!
