Bidding to win, bidding to support Isabelle's House
AAWD held their annual silent auction and wine tasting in an effort to raise money for Isabelle’s House. Although the numbers are still out and not yet determined, the night was a huge success. Kim and I attended and were both quite touched by the number of people who donated items to the auction – many people who donated have long been supporters of Isabelle’s House.
I would like to personally thank the following people for their donations to the auction:

Many sincere graces to all of you,
Dakota
Last weekend we had our first phase of Project Leap with a blitz on Jaye’s yard. Thanks to the team at Good Natured Gardening and their generous donation of services, we were able to recover – or should I say uncover – the yard that layed beneath 3 years worth of fallen leaves. While Mark trimmed trees, bushes, vines and more – Juan and Joe blew, bagged, and piled up over 50 bags of yard debris. Pat took over the task of palm trees and more vines while Miriam, Kim, Brittany and myself tackled the back yard. In the end the task was monumentous and bigger than we had anticipated – leaving us with the committment to return for a 2nd phase to the yard. Be sure to check out all the photos to see the yard go from beast to beauty!
