The Guilford Church celebrated a successful conclusion of 3-year capital campaign - the goal was $250,000 and they raised 276,000. A video was shown depicting what the money had been used for and then there was a big pot-luck luncheon. It was a joyful event.

This morning, Zach and a helper came to finish up a job of clearing brush and small saplings at the house. Earlier they had cut down saplings using a chain saw. Today they used a small brush hog and a huge brush hog - one capable of reducing a small tree to chips! It is Zach's newest toy!

This afternoon we went to OSHER for the start of a 3-week series on viewing and understanding a work of art. The teacher is Mara Williams, who is the head of our local Museum of Art. She brought large prints and invited people to respond to what they saw in any way they wished to. A very wide variety of responses was elicited on many different levels. Some responded to form and color, others talked about their emotional response, some were interested in the implied history. Very interesting!
The three works we looked at were:
 |
| John Singer Sargeant, Black Brook |
 |
| Hale Woodruff, Poor Man's Cotton |
 |
| Pamela McCabe, Cotton Field |
