How do you spend your 12th anniversary? Volunteering on the Hunger Task Force Farm!
After a quick tour of some of the buildings, and the fish hatchery, Maxine and (and the 20 other volunteers )I got to work.
Today we prepped, washed and packaged 73 crates of lettuce (803 pounds), and weeded 16 beds of vegetables in the children’s nature educational garden.

I coached my 45 min. spin calls this morning at The WAC and then spent time doing some core work and stretching.

It was a hot one today out on the Hank Aaron Trail.
