June 20th is definitely the day for Fence Expansion

Left -- pounding posts, Middle -- Schmoozing, Right -- lunching

Images above are from the initial fence installation in Oct 2007.

Essentially, The "small dog enclosure will be left in place, and the remaining fence line relocated & expanded ( a lot). Partisans will be coming and going as they please from 9 AM until mid afternoon. Lets hope the weather is decent.

Some prep work will be done ahead of time so that production work on Saturday should go smoothly. There is no brush to clear nor gravel to spread. We will be carrying material, raking up stuff fallen from the cedars, Placing & "pounding" fence posts into the ground. Finally, the wire mesh fencing will be attached to the posts. In between, there will be lots of schmoozing. The park has both sunny & shady areas. Dogs are OK, but remember only the smaller area will be enclosed. I'm leaving mine at home.

== Please pitch-in by doing whatever you feel comfortable doing. ==

Chef Gou Cheng will be catering the event with her special menu. I'll bring a cooler filled with Ice & bottled water. You too can surprise all with additional goodies. See you there!

Drieks Serengeti:

The pond has hatched a new crop of dragon flies , water striders skate to & fro, bullfrogs croak in satisfaction, and an 11 duckling navy patrols the shores.

Today, by the newly mowed Dierks Field we watched a flock of about 20 Canadian Geese decend and land to investigate browsing opportunites in the fresh stubble. In ten days, we & our companions, will admire what the Seasons offer from a truly unique sanctuary.

Sincere thanks to all how made it happen.
