Garden of Eatin'

It was a hot one on Saturday but that didn't stop the Dunwoody Girl Scouts Troop 29414 (Bailey Toms' troop) from getting together to give the Garden of Eatin a face lift.  They dug in and planted tomatoes, peppers, jalapeños, egg plants, green beans, cucumbers, and watermelons!  

On a side note....please feel free to water the garden if you are ever at St. Pat's and have some spare time!  :-)
Many thanks to the troop!!!

Deacon Postulant Victoria Jarvis has offered a beautiful service of foot and hand massage on Wednesdays. This service opened a window into how needed and appreciated personal care is.
