I recently had another opportunity to volunteer at the
Dublin Heritage Park and Museums in Dublin, California. A group from the business women network at work (the Mighty Morphing Women of Power, as my husband likes to call us) worked with Master Gardeners Jim and Sue on several projects.

| The museum before we started - notice all the fallen leaves! |
 |
| The garden we planted in the spring, now all grown up |
It was gratifying to see the results of our labors back in June (see
Volunteer at Heritage Park). The plantings are mature and healthy. It is great to see that several hours of work in spring can bring beauty and pleasure to folks through several seasons.

| Piles of leaves ready for the compost heap |
 |
| The museum after we raked - no leaves! |
Our group made short work of raking up leaves and sprucing up the garden beds. This made a significant contribution to the compost heap. Never mind that a gust or two of Dublin wind will undo what we did - for the moment it looks great!

Another group worked on crafts and decorated the grounds in preparation for an upcoming fall festival. We also got a chance explore the park grounds.

Our business women's group (which includes a few men) enjoyed our service project and time together on a beautiful fall morning.
