Some Heroes of Songaia, By Helen Gabel

3/12/2019

The return of springtime has released new energy in the Biogaians!  As the snow melted out we discovered massive storm damage on all our properties.   And the sunny days coincided with inspiration from Mary and Laura towards long-neglected care of our fruit trees and roses. The response has been positively heroic!

Below you'll see Brian, Ian, and Douglas R clearing the most dangerous downed limbs at Life Song Commons, and a photo of the first truckload of brush headed for disposal.

There's been work with chainsaws and big loppers as several other truckloads, as well as dumpsters, of brush have been collected.

Most of our fruit trees are being pruned.

Has anyone seen Mary recently? If you have, she was probably in a fruit tree.

And our rose-and-mulch team has been forging ahead, too.

These are not all of our local heroes--just the ones with conveniently available photos.  Thanks be to the new season, and to all who love our community!
