The parking lots and drive ways are now coated with a glistening layer of asphalt. The fences have been completed around the perimeter of the playground area to the back of the school, as well. Although the grounds have been seeded for grass, intemperately dry weather has not provided the irrigation necessary to make it spout! Still, nearly one year after this project's genesis, evidence of overall project success is clearly visible.









A lone cat scurries to get away from this writer after examining the playground area for a potential meal or shady spot.















Reminiscent of a biblical "dry and thirsty land," this run-off drain is very dry and very empty. Forecasts for the week are in the 90's, with some scattered showers, however.
