Readers Walk Master Gardners Booth...

What a beautiful day we had for our Readers Walk yesterday. Here is my husband Tom at 9am starting to set things up for the day... Our Master Gardner's president came with big beautiful corn stalks to decorate, and they were beautiful... The booth is set up with the lemonade ready to serve to all the children that come by. They got to sit on big bales of straw, while they were being read to...

I think we are ready!!!


Here I am showing the first group of children how to make our grass head people, each child was given a little baggie with grass seed in it and the instructions on how to make their very on little grass head person.. Then I read them a book on "How to Plant A Rainbow"...

Look how cute this little one is sitting on a bale of straw with her feet resting on pumpkin, while one of our members read to her!!!



This is my oldest daughter Colleen Interpreting in Sign Language the story being read in front of the Library...


The flowers in front of our Historical Society Museum are still in full bloom and looking beautiful...



Our town sponsors a Scarecrow contest every October and the Downtown area is full of really creative Scarecrows on lots of posts!!!



Here we have a few more Master Gardner's telling a story on how Pumpkins grow to some small children, they just loved this story.
We also gave out coloring sheets that had garden themes.


While another Master Gardner read to the older Children a wonderful book she had to share with them...


This little one with his mother during an interactive story: "WHEN THE SUN CAME UP AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN" He loved it...


My daughter holding a little one during the same story...
See the little grass head people sitting on the table in the background, those are the ones I planted last Sunday. How fast they grew...

These two first and second graders were learning how peanuts grew and how peanut butter was made, how interesting that book was...

My husband on the corner with some of the other Master Gardner's just having a good time watching all the kids enjoying the reading...
Look at the blue sky, it was just a gorgeous day...
So all in all we had a "GREAT DAY"...

Hello, just want to let you know I made Lil's chicken and dumplings today. It was really tasty, but bless her heart it is time consuming I made a double batch. My father was over and he calls all dumplings dough balls, after eating these he said that was pretty good..Thanks for sharing the receipe.Have a wonderful week.
