pole from garden; picking up fence posts and large de-bris in/around yard and garden; trimming maples in back yard; trimming shrubs; weed-eating around house and where not mown; and weeding flower beds and walkways.

Thanks to all who helped (Moore Family, Mayer Family, Doug Trimble, Hannah Bush, Joanne Weikert, and especially Keyser Kirtley, who cleaned the back yard). 2) Heavy rains flooded the SW corner of the basement; we need a bet-ter, stronger dehumidifier there (now uses old ones from Fellowship Hall) 3) Trees need to be removed: Spruce trees north of basement; large dead tree on west side; Lilac and roots beside chicken pen; dead Dog-wood on east lawn; overgrown shrub on SW corner. 4) No property meeting on July 4.
